"The Hudsucker Proxy"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I think this is one of the Coen Brothers' finest and I watch it every New Year's Eve. I like its quirkiness and the many references to other films, p[articularly "Superman" (the employment titles, Durning and Robbins "flying", the double Hula Hoops), "Citizen Kane"(the train car newspaper montage and the "ignomy" quote), "The Terminator" (the fight in the clockwork) and others. Carter Burwell's old fashioned "epic movie meets Copeland" score is always a pleasure, and the entire film is a joy. If you haven't seen it I urge you to give it a try.

I would add "His Girl Friday" to the many film references. (nt) - semuta 13:29:40 01/02/07 (1)
