(comedy, drama, fantasy, romance)
When Waring Hudsucker, head of hugely successful Hudsucker Industries, commits suicide, his board of directors, led by Sidney Mussberger, comes up with a brilliant plan to make a lot of money: appoint a moron to run the company. When the stock falls low enough, Sidney and friends can buy it up for pennies on the dollar, take over the company, and restore its fortunes. They choose idealistic Norville Barnes, who just started in the mail room. Norville is whacky enough to drive any company to ruin, but soon, tough reporter Amy Archer smells a rat and begins an undercover investigation of Hudsucker Industries.

Another fascinating piece of the Coen brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy "
It is a tribute to the films of 1930. From the gray-imitation Gothic
cityscape over the top acting and rapid-fire dialogue to
Tenues color to the stark sets, this film hearkens back to an earlier
Era movies.
The plot is quite simple. When company president Waring Hudsucker
suicide, the board of directors, headed by the deliciously evil
Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman) determines to devalue the population
Putting a "shmoe 'by the company so that when the afternoon
Hudsucker control in the stock market hits in 30 days
Mussburger full can snap up in the cheap. Enter shmoe
Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins). Jennifer Jason Leigh is the reporter
Hudsucker Industries, which infiltrates in the guise of secretary, and
is Barnes' love interest in the film.
Robbins performed more than adequately, but is outshone by excellent performances
Newman, and in particular by Leigh, who
absolutely nails this role. His mixture, lilt of the language is wonderful;
Sass she simply oozes sensuality, and all parameters very decent
After decades in Hollywood.
Other highlights of the film include - the wonderful games at least
Moreover, the usual Coen cinematography, which makes the film visually
Delight above and beyond the plot and the acting; the clock (an unbilled
In one sense). Strange characters pop and back - the Buzz
Elevator Operator, the clock conservatives, and many others. And of course that…
Clock!
Like all films of the Coen brothers, he calls me to see it again, as I always seem
discover new elements when viewed his works for
The second, third, fourth Sometimes, and beyond. A film worth -
Enjoy!
7 out of 10
The Coens make Capra, with his inimitable style and ingenuity. More specifically,
This is the corrupt innocent hick in the big city thing Smith, Mr
know the facts and John Doe, with Tim Robbins as an adequate substitute
lanky Jimmy Stewart and Gary Cooper, and a wonderful quick talk
Tomboy journo turn by Jennifer Jason Leigh. Paul Newman is equally
Fantastic as evil corporate bigwig, and the story of a turn of the tables in his mohammad
handlers through their own naivete and innocence is
Perfectly packed with moments of inspiration, wonderfully fantastic set design,
Nut dialogue, great music and brilliant madness streak operating
Through all the Coens' work magic. It makes my "top ten of the decade"
Incidentally, this beauty can only mature and grow in stature over
Time.
