Trivia:
A sign on the wall in the Manhattan Argus pressroom reading "It must be fit to print. It must be accurate. Is it interesting?" is a close adaptation of one painted onto the wall of the pressroom in The Finger Points (1931). more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: Dr. Bronfenbrenner's film of Norville's psychiatric session begins with a SMPTE Universal leader that counts down from 8 to 2. This type of film leader wasn't developed until the 1960s. The film would have actually had either an Academy leader counting from 11 to 3 with black film in between or one of the brand new (for the late 1950s) SMPTE Society leaders that counted from 11 to 3 but had focusing cross hairs, rather than black film, between the numbers. more

The comic and fantastic overflow in this joyous romp, 4 December 1999
10/10
Author: marcmahan (marcmahan@hotmail.com) from Atlanta, GA

This movie is the exception to the rule when they say, "They don't make 'em like they used to." Because the Coen Brothers and Sam Raimi sure did top them all with this one. Tim Robbins, along with the rest of the cast, is pitch perfect. From the first second of the movie to the last, my eyes are glazed over with utter fascination. Composer Carter Burwell is the next John Williams in my book. His score accents brilliantly every emotion witnessed. This movie is funny, romantic, perverse, and whimsical. It says a lot that after years of not making movies, Paul Newman chose to make this one.
