Movie Description
The life of an eccentric violinist is turned upside down when he is mistaken for a C.I.A. agent. He hasn't the slightest idea why he is being shot at, mugged, chased, and even seduced. Based on the French film THE TALL BLOND MAN WITH ONE BLACK SHOE.
Synopsis
In the midst of an internal power struggle at the CIA, Ross, chief of one branch of the agency, plays a trick on Cooper, chief of a rival branch. Ross picks out a random innocent -- a concert violinist named Richard - and convinces Cooper to keep close watch on the "suspect." Completely oblivious of what's going on, Richard goes about his business, while all of his simple actions are being misinterpreted by both the eager Cooper and Maddy, an aid sent in by Copper to seduce Richard. Madness and mayhem ensue when Maddy falls in love with Richard, and both Ross' and Copper's plans go a little awry.
