The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe

The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (French: Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire) is a 1972 French spy comedy directed by Yves Robert, written by Robert and Francis Veber. Bernard Blier's Bernard Milan, deputy chief of France's counter-espionage service, schemes to discredit his boss Colonel Toulouse by sending him chasing a nonexistent "dangerous spy": a hapless, distracted violinist, François Perrin (Pierre Richard), fingered at random because he arrived at Orly Airport wearing one yellow shoe and one black one.

Watches

Cartier Tank

Worn by Bernard Blier as Bernard Milan. Montres de Luxe identifies the yellow-gold Cartier Tank on Blier's wrist as the actor's own personal watch rather than a costume piece, noting he wears the same watch in Le Distrait (1970), another Yves Robert comedy opposite Pierre Richard.
