In a fairytale 50's New York, scheming Vice-President of Hudsucker
Industries (the priceless Paul Newman) installs mail-room hayseed
Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) as President in a bid for the chair
himself. Norville, to everyone's surprise, has ideas of his own,
including one that's, you know! For kids!! Lushly photographed
by Coen regular Roger Deakins, this hilariously exhuberant satire
remains one of the Brothers most polished and purely enjoyable
films.
