Behind the Curtain: Our August newspaper movie of the month

'The Hudsucker Proxy'

We are major Coen Brothers fans, so we are scratching our heads as to why it took so long for us to choose "The Hudsucker Proxy" (1994) as our Newspaper Movie of the Month (especially since "the future is now"). Jennifer Jason Leigh is a delight as a Pulitzer Prize-winning muckraker. Tim Robbins and Paul Newman delight as well, while John Mahoney captivates in a small role as the editor. And of course, there's the Hula Hoop. "You know, for kids!"
