New Running Shoes

The Big Chill

Overview

The “running shoes” scene in The Big Chill features Kevin Kline’s character, Harold, a shoe store owner, who surprises his friends with a delivery of new running shoes from his stores. The scene shows various shoeboxes piled on the kitchen table, from which the characters, waking up at different times, joyfully try on their individually chosen shoes.
