Wow. That was weird to see a post from me in a previous incarnation. I stand by what I said then: Gone With The Wind. On the Big Screen. As it was meant to be seen. I'd seen it countless times on TV & it was ok, a little ho-hum, but amusing. But on the Big Screen!!! Oh my!!!!!

Wikipedia (explains it fairly well)
The tested episodes always open with a quick montage of a newspaper personals section ad under "Red Shoes" seeking women to mail in their personal diaries with stories of love, passion and/or betrayal. The presenter and host Jake Winters (David Duchovny) is then shown walking on desolate train tracks with his dog Stella. He begins reading a letter from his post office box out loud that begins with "Dear Red Shoes..." He first took out the ad after the suicide of his fiancée, and his subsequent confrontation of the man with whom she was having an affair, a construction worker & shoe salesman who sold her a pair of red high heels, inspiring both the ad and the show's title. He placed the ad in the newspaper in an effort to understand why it happened and learn his fiancée's reasons for killing herself through the stories of women in similar situations. The storylines usually have a thin plot revolving around some intrigue and the sexual awakening of a girl or woman who often also narrates. Sensuous love scenes with nudity as well as sultry, moody music are characteristic for most episodes. There is no story arc or characters connecting the different stories other than Jake Winters introducing each episode.
