Although set in the 1950s, this film is mostly a tribute to the greatest of screwball comedies like His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby, but fused with Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Of course, because it is the Coens it isn't quite like anything else, really, which is what makes it their least understood film to date. Gets better and better with repeat viewings. Lots of fun with elaborate art-deco sets and the acting by Robbins, Leigh, and especially the wonderfully deadpan Paul Newman. Sure, sure.
