1.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, but this VHS Tape is Awful, December 22, 2004

This review is from: The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After years of trying to get a copy of this wonderful movie and checking on Amazon, suddenly it became available on VHS at Amazon last summer and I ordered a copy. What arrived, is NOT an original studio release. Instead it was a generic tape with a typed white label. When I put it in to view, what I found was a very grainy image with a dubbed English soundtrack. I was very disappointed.

My guess is that someone found a copy of the 1972 poor U.S. release at a flea market somewhere and has taken a position that the copyright has entered the public domain after 28 years as per statutory section 17 USC 303 of the copyright law and is publishing copies of that worn out flea market copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly funny, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (Subtitled) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie 8 times in movie theaters in Europe and I watched it from my VCR many times. Each times I suffered severe pain of abdominal muscles from laughing. More, next day, going to my office by Commuter Railroad I recalled fragments of this movie and I started laughing again making other passengers looking at me in rather strange way. No doubt, it is a perfect comedy. American remake is rather poor comparing to this orginal.

5.0 out of 5 stars histerical!!!, November 21, 1998

This review is from: Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (Subtitled) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first time I saw this movie was at the university's library. I was laughing so hard, that I was almost kicked out of the library. The copy was in French with English sub. Then, I bought my own copy, and it turned out to be dubbed. It was still very funny, but not as funny as original. And The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe can not be even compared to the American remake. The original is 1000 TIMES BETTER!!!
