Loose Shoes (also known asComing Attractions andQuackers) is a 1978comedy film directed by Ira Miller and featuringBill Murray. The film is presented as a series of movie trailers with titles such asThe Howard Huge Story,Skate-boarders from Hell andThe Invasion of the Penis Snatchers.
The film was originally released on September 1, 1978 asComing Attractions and promoted with the tagline "The Movie That Makes Fun of the Movies".[1] It was re-released in 1980 under the title ofLoose Shoes, capitalizing on the increased fame of Murray (Saturday Night Live,Meatballs) andHoward Hesseman (WKRP in Cincinnati).
The updated title is taken from a 1940sCab Calloway-style song-and-dance number in the film's final skit, "Dark Town After Dark", which satirizes an infamous 1976 drunken, racist remark made byGerald Ford's then-Secretary of AgricultureEarl Butz (who was subsequently forced to resign) on a plane: "I'll tell you what the coloreds want. It's three things: first, a tight pussy; second, loose shoes; and third, a warm place to shit".
