The one thing I can remember about this movie is its production design. The recreation of the buildings from the 30s is a sight to behold, as is the way the offices and desks are setup- brilliantly unique, but these things are expected from the Coen brothers. What I don't remember is the story or plot and checking some reviews on Wikipedia it seems I am not the only one- critics praised the visual style but criticized the plot. Tim Robbins plays a young marketing graduate hired by Paul Newman to work in the firm he wants to take over. Jennifer Jason Leagh is also an inspired choice and I distinctly remember a few of her scenes. But this isn't one of the better Coen films for sure.
