A Coens' deep-cut, this meticulous screwball comedy is a dark, quirky, and loving tribute to the films of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges.

A Coens' deep-cut, this meticulous screwball comedy is a dark, quirky, and loving tribute to the films of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. Set in a fantastically stylised New York of stunning Gothic-Art Deco design and co-written with Sam Raimi, the film stars Tim Robbins as the irrepressibly chipper Norville Barnes. He’s a lowly mailclerk with a big dream: To sell the world’s first Hula Hoop… you know, for kids!
