DROPPEDIT'S ONE-SHOE SCENES IN MOVIES AND TV

Women losing their shoes, mostly high heels, appear to be a common theme in movies and TV serials. Some of those scenes were described in the message board of Legsandheels.com as well as certain other sites. I thought of bringing those together, add my own descriptions, and come up with a comprehensive list. Thanks to contributions by �feeture feature�, �kinja�, �wang tohan�, �stratius� and several others, the list has expanded so fast that, for practical reasons, I had to divide it into two categories.

This list one is the first, consisting of what I term �Prime� shoe loss scenes. �Prime� in this case implies an inadvertent and uncontrolled loss of footwear by female character, in the aftermath of which she cannot retrieve her errant shoe and has to go on one shoe on, one shoe off. The second list consists of other shoe loss or one-shoe scenes that do not fit this criterion.

My thanks again to all whose postings were used, and also thanks to �feeture feature�, �kinja�, �wang tohan� and others whose contributions have made the list expand continually.

A last note. The movies I have seen myself, for which double-checked description is available, are marked with (*). Remarks and feedback are most welcome, so that I can make corrections and/or extend the list further. Use [email protected].

Latest updates: August 4 Item 117.

  1. Gabriel�s Fire* (TV): 1991 US-made serial, about a private eye and his female colleague (played by Laila Robins). In one episode that I happened to zap in right at the middle, she had somehow ended-up wearing only one black high-heel pump with mini nightdress and nylons. Always keeping her one remaining pump, she walks at night through a deserted alley, and gets in a slump bar to ask for help. But, the bar is assaulted by police, and mistaken for a prostitute she is taken under custody. Taken to the police station, her pictures are taken; she is made to sit in a room alongside hookers; then, gets in a fight with one of those over waiting line for the phone. A friend finally bails her out, and she walks through the halls of the police station chatting with him, always one-shod. She then drives and walks to meet his private eye colleague, who teases her over her one-shoe condition. This was a splendid one-shoe piece, despite the fact that I still don�t know how she ended up loosing her pump in the first place. More recently, �John� provided coordinates of this website dedicated to Gabriel�s Fire. Apparently, the episode in question is #10 �Windows�, in which Leila Robins has a series of misadventures while going to a costume party dressed as a hooker.

  2. Foul Play*: Trying to escape a mob, Goldie Hawn drops a navy blue high-heel pump from fire escape, and carrying her remaining shoe she jumps at the back of a truck.

  4. Raiders of the Lost Ark*: One of Karen Allen�s white open toe pumps falls off her foot into the pit of snakes, when she is pushed into the same pit. She lands on Harrison Ford�s lap one-shod, while the errant pump lands atop poisonous snakes. They show one of the snakes slithering through the open toe of her shoe.

When finally out of pit, she discards her remaining pump in disgust and appears in subsequent scenes barefoot. Photo contribution by "Feeture Feature".

  5. Poison Ivy*: Opens with a scene of Drew Barrymore stopping on the way home from school at a tire swing, which swung out over a small gorge, maybe 50 feet deep. While day dreaming on the swing, she kicks off her right boot into the gorge, and although her boot seems findable if she climbed down the embankment to retrieve it, she instead gets off the swing and walks off in disgust. She runs into a classmate, who asks her to come to her house to visit. She spends the next 10 minutes of the movie walking around in one boot, and white sock in other foot.

The subsequent one-shod scenes last for perhaps 15 minutes, including a car accident she witnesses and helps a survivor out, and encounter with an admirer at a parking lot.

  7. Romeo Is Bleeding* Car driver gets strangled by woman in rear seat using one stockinged, one shod foot.

Few instants of one-shod appearence follows, as she gets out of the building, and walks amidst firefighters workers, and kneels down to look at some rescued paintings. Earlier in the movie, Robert Redford chases down a hit-man that tried unsuccessfully to run over he and Debra Winger, and instead crashes his car. The hit man shoves down an attractive blonde on the sidewalk. There is a good shot of her losing her black hi-heel pump as she is knocked over and she is clearly visible in her one shoe state as she yells after them; "What's the matter with you?" An appropriate question as she has very nice legs and neither of them stops to look. The lost shoe is also clearly visible in the background.

  23. The Glass Bottom Boat During a tour of space flight center, Doris Day loses her spike heel in a floor grating, Rod Taylor picks up the shoe and the grate with it, and Dick Martin drops through the resulting hole (click here for origins of this phenomenon see). Afterwards, she runs out of the building, and down the sidewalk with one shoe and hides under a friend's desk in another building. Rod Taylor ends up being her new boss and returns her shoe at that time. Actually, there was enough in this movie to make one think that the director or someone must have a special interest in female feet. Besides the loss described above, there was another scene where Dorris Day's character was trying to help a waiter who got his foot stuck in a narrow garbage can. She ended up getting her foot stuck in there, too. They could have made a good one-shoe scene here, but they didn't. However, they showed Rad Taylor massaging her foot afterwards. Later, Dorris was in Rod's modern computerized kitchen. One feature was a robot that would come out and clean up anything that fell on the floor. While Dorris was alone in there, she accidentally triggered the robot to come out. She was wearing thong sandal type slippers and the robot had a vacuum hose that came out and sucked one of her flip flops off and it was about to go back inside its door with her shoe. But, she just reached in and pulled it out in time. Yet again, she was running away from someone and she kicked off her shoes to go faster and she went into someone's house through their bedroom. She entered one foot first and there was a good shot of her foot. It is interesting that Dorris Day would be subject of such excessive foot treatment, rather than someone else with a smaller more feminine foot than hers.

She tosses the shoes into Leslie�s apron and Leslie drops them on a table. Then the women in one shoe each are shown with legs crossed and boyfriends pointing to shoeless feet.

As you see her run away with one nylon foot flying, she can be heard wailing "My Shoe!". (photo credit goes to �feeture feature�) Yet, �Simon� makes interesting observation that this movie may have two, even possibly more versions of the lady in the single shoe scene. He slowed down the version he has, and he saw the lady that is missing her shoe actually has it in her hand!!! So, comments �Simon�, her cry �My Shoe!� may be because she wants to stop to put it back on as opposed to it supposedly being lost.

Immediately, he remembers of the lift he had given earlier to a colleague he is about to start flirting (played by Souad Amidou).

It is pouring outside and the solitary shoe landing on the road bank is shown for several seconds. They finally get to their destination, a large country house with lawn. Naturally, when she wakes up, she is unable to find her shoe, and realizing his mistake Depardiue tries to overwhelm her with several questions and suggestions such as �are you sure you had both shoes on when you got on?�, �What is it in a shoe? You won�t allow a errant shoe to ruin your evening, are you?�, and so on. Laroque�s character in infuriated and says there is no way she is going out in one shoe. Then, she reaches under her seat from the back and her search produces a solitary high-heeled shoe and a pantyhose. Depardieu still tries to play ignorant, and tells her she must have put-on the wrong shoe while leaving her home. As she tries to put on the unfitting shoe, she screams this is not her shoe and it is too small for her anyway. They step-out of the car and one of the friends accompanies her inside under heavy rain. She has a very obvious one-shoe limp (because of the difference in heel height), and one of the guys asks Depardiue what�s wrong with her foot. His answer is �tight shoe�. When they finally settle inside, she takes off the high-heeled shoe (only half of her foot fits in it anyway) and pushes it aside, sitting in one shoe. Shortly afterwards a small dog takes the errant shoe away, and at that moment, Depardiue�s would-be-flirt comes in and sees her shoe carried around by the dog.

Being scared these guys would open the barrel to taste the wine and find the body, Laura decided to distract them. Telling Remington to "Forget everything you see!", she ran up to the man who thought he recognized her, draped her scarf around his neck, gave him a great big sexy kiss, said "If you thought Acupolco was something, then you haven't seen anything yet". She ran to the corner of the room, turned around, said "What you catch, you can keep". Then she kicked off her high heel shoe, it flew way up high, and landed right in Remington's hands. She ran off into the cellars laughing and the drunks ran after her yelling "Acupolco". Remington stood staring at the high-heel shoe. It was a white or cream pump with low cut sides and a peep-toe open toe. He handed the shoe to the winery owner and ran after Laura. As she ran from the men she would take off her jacket one time, then her blouse, then her skirt, tossing them and teasing the men in a strip-tease parody to get them away from the room with the cask. She was running around with a camisole and half-slip. Can't remember if she took off the remaining shoe or not. But, when the men were gone off looking for her, she slipped back with Remington into the first room finding the owner knocked unconscious, holding her shoe, and the body gone from the barrel.

One of the performances was �Mummerella� and the woman captain of the group lost one shoe (a grey mid-heeled pump) intentionally during the performance. The woman was interviewed after the performance and a big deal was made that she was still in one shoe, and hoped an assistant had picked up the missing shoe from the street. She then did the Mummers Strut with the reporter and the camera showed her in one shoe. Due to cold weather she also had on heavy grey stockings. Subsequently, �Kinja� was able to locate this photo of the woman, called Beals Casio. The photo shows her in walking shoes � she must have walked the parade in them and then must have changed into pumps before the judging at the end of parade, as they clearly showed the pump on the street and then her do the strut in one shoe with the reporter. She won her category, best captain!
