Pierre Richard recalls an iconic scene with Mireille Darc

It was 54 years ago, Pierre Richard shared the poster of The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe with Mireille Darc. During an appearance on C à vous on France 5 in 2025, he recounted that the two actors had never met before filming. Their first face-to-face gave the iconic image where François Perrin opens the door to Christine, dressed in a black dress with a vertiginous backless neckline, a scene that left him "speechless". Pierre Richard even reenacted his reaction, prompting laughter from the audience. The next day, a more daring sequence placed him opposite Darc, then completely naked in a bed, demanding greater self-control. According to AlloCiné, these anecdotes illustrate the memorable memories from the shooting of the 1972 film directed by Yves Robert.
