The Hudsucker Proxy

First viewing since learning that this is a Coen brothers film (second or third viewing all up), and it's still enjoyable. This time picked up that it's as much a satire of a certain type of old-fashioned film genre as it is one of big business; Jennifer Jason Leigh steals the show, of course, but there's plenty of delight to be had in Robbins' performance and the scenery-chewing of Paul Newman.
