Synopsis
The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) is a Coen Brothers comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A naive kid from Indiana lands in New York, takes a job in the mailroom of a huge corporation, and somehow ends up running it.
Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) has no idea he was handed the top chair on purpose. The board, led by the slick Sidney Mussburger (Paul Newman), wants the stock to crash so they can buy it back cheap, and for that they need an idiot in charge. Trouble is, this idiot is carrying a sketch of a funny little circle. Fast-talking reporter Amy Archer (Jennifer Jason Leigh) goes undercover to expose him and falls for him instead.
The film is set in a stylized 1958, all art deco towers and giant ticking clocks. The Coens wrote it with Sam Raimi and built the score around Khachaturian. That funny little circle? It's the hula hoop. Stream The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) online on iFILM.
