| A couple of suggestions: 1. Cube....an unusual science fiction film about a group of strangers mysteriously trapped inside a giant cube set with booby traps. To test the booby traps, the group throws their shoes into various rooms. All cast members including two women end up barefoot for the entire movie. 2. Cube: Zero.....inferior but still interesting prequel. One female cast member, hot Canadian actress, ends up spending the entire movie missing one shoe (the only movie I can think of where a female cast member is "half barefoot" for the entire movie). Not many close ups but the uniqueness of the movie makes it worthy of the list. 3. Wolf Creek.....Australian slasher film where one of the leading actresses spends the movie fleeing a psycho Paul Hogan type in bare feet...her feet endure all sorts of dangerous and dirty terrain. 3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. One of the best. Another slasher movie featuring a young (and at the time unknown) Renee Zellweger, who is not especially proud of the movie, but to add an element of realism insisted on spending the entire movie barefoot, fleeing a bunch of cannibals including an also then-unknown Matthew McConaughey. 4. Tourist Trap: Another horror movie, from the '70s, featuring a young Tanya Roberts (future Charlie's Angel), who is abducted and tied up in tight shorts and bare feet. Roberts apparently enjoys showing off her pretty feet in film (see the 1984 semi classic "Sheena"). 5. Maid to Order....this may be harder to find, not sure if it's even on DVD. Ally Sheedy appears in this late '80s comedy about a spoiled brat whose guardian "witch" decides to teach her a lesson. The Sheedy character ends up homeless on the streets barefoot. A few good close ups of her feet while she roams the streets of Beverly Hills before (unfortunately) finding a pair of shoes in a dumpster. 6. And speaking of Paul Hogan....the '80s classic Crocodile Dundee has a climax involving the female lead actress that is famous for fans of bare feet in movies. See it and you'll know what I mean. |

| I would add Volunteers (1985) a comedy with Tom Hanks. Towards the end of the movie there is a chase scene with a woman-Rita Wilson? In a tattered wedding dress being chased through the jungle barefoot. |

no direct misadventures in Volunteers that I can remember other than that the whole circumstance of the scene is a missadventure . Another movie that may have a misadventure is Night of the Iguana (1964) with Richard Burton and Ava Gardner who runs and owns a rundown resort in Mexico. She is barefoot in all her scenes. There is one scene in particular with a spilled drink and broken glass. The tension of the scene is caused by her barefeet and the broken glass on the floor. While we are on the subject of misadventures in the tropics there are West of Zanzibar (1928) with Lon Chaney I think it's Mary Nolan who plays the missionaries daughter who becomes becomes a prostitute in an African port . Her fall is shown briefly but it's dramatic and vivid-she is shown barefoot and filthy in tattered rags looking very abused. A melodramatic portrayal of the fallen woman. There is another version Congo . They are a double feature on the same dvd , hand made by a company which specializes in obscure classic films .There are two other versions as well. West of Zanzibar must have been very famous at the time much like W Somerset Maugham's Rain or Sadie Thompson which also features a prostitute and missionaries in the tropics. There's also the Painted Veil another Maugham story which has a spoiled English doctor's wife is stranded in a remote village in China during a cholera epidemic. This one with Naomi Watts does have some barefeet. Last but not least Maugham ever the masochist wrote Of Human Bondage 1934 which has Bette Davis as a cruel lower class prostitute who humiliates a medical student in a torrid affair. I will have to watch this one again. l felt compelled to add it as it completes the cycle of degraded and degrading prostitutes versus missionaries and doctors. A perverse version of cowboys and indians. Speaking of which white women kidnapped by indians should provide some good scenes of barefoot misadventures to |

Great work and I love your channel, but unfortunately it is not available now. I vaguely remembered seeing a woman climbing a mountain in barefoot. She is wearing white. The man beside her wears boots. It was a quite old one, the overall tone is yellowish, probably near the desert. Do you remember which one it is? |
