...booths, and a giant chalkboard displays the menu. Faithful customers order the thick, 160-g burgers ground from juicy Aberdeen Angus beef and laid on freshly baked, preservative-free sourdough rolls, which can be topped with 12 combinations of exotic cheeses and sauces, such as spicy satay, aged Stilton or mango and ginger. The menu also offers lamb, venison and chicken burgers and three vegetarian versions.

...lets us listen. And the eyes of the jazz musicians alone hold another entire movie with-in the movie. The music functions as a kind of running commentary on the movie: horns roar and seem to laugh cynically as one event unfolds and then another. At one point Mrs. Stilton, napping with Blondie in the house of a friend from work, wakes up at the sound of jazz music careering along across town...
