...fine class distinctions are either invisible or irrelevant to the outside world. The difference between a Harvard student from Greenwich and one from North Dakota is lost on the average American. Both are equally likely to be sipping fine scotch in oak-paneled clubrooms, sharing their contempt for the vulgar masses...

Good costuming insured that each caricature-character looks the part, while the rhythm and blues-infused garage rock music by Stevie Salas and Dorian Heartsong...
