...just plain fainted while the plane slowly disgorged 105 passengers, 11 crew members and four British Beetles. Oops, Beatles. On their first U.S. tour, the mop-topped, top pop wailers, John Lennon, 23, George Harrison, 21, Paul McCartney, 21, and Ringo Starr, 23, grinned amiably at the whole mad display. What was their secret? "A good press agent," chirped Ringo. (They have...
...When game is afoot, royal-watchers routinely engage in round-the-clock stakeouts, read lips with binoculars, suborn servants, chase their prey at crazy speeds in high-powered cars.

This is laced with the subtler scent of a basement filled with dried foods, stockpiled...
...comprehensible visual references homages to the film-noir tradition--as if we needed more. Happily, however, the Coens have established a tradition of their own: deeply weird characters (let John Goodman's great portrait of one of those paranoid know-it-alls who actually know nothing stand for the mad multitude this movie contains) embedded in profoundly banal settings (much of the film is set in a bowling alley). So even when they don't achieve the glorious farce of a Fargo, there is always something fascinating about following the Coens' rapt gaze as they peer into the American...
