"Still of the Night" is a Hitchcockian thriller from director Robert Benton. Roy Scheider portrays a Manhattan psychiatrist who is suspected of killing one of his patients. The police do not know if he's not telling them - claiming the immunity of the doctor-patient relationship. Scheider himself considers that the dead man's mistress (Meryl Streep) may be the killer. Scheider's quiet bachelor life is penetrated by Streep's wiles, and he can't understand her interest. Streep is a vivacious, chain-smoking blonde, who looks as if she could "explode" at any provocation. Scheider is determined to get to the bottom of the murder and find out if Streep is the killer. His obsession is accompanied by nightmares of flashing knives. Scheider plans his moves to get closer and closer to Streep until she breaks.

In this hilarious undercover comedy, violinist Richard Drew (Tom Hanks) triggers a game of rivalry between two feuding CIA bosses (Charles Durning, Dabney Coleman) when he is mistaken for a spy after wearing one red shoe.

Meanwhile, his friend's (Jim Belushi) love-starved wife (Carrie Fisher) has designs on him as well. This film is the American version of the French film The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe.
