The Hudsucker Proxy - 6

Another Coen brothers hit. This is a story about a huge corporation named after its founder, Waring Hudsucker, and the lowly mail room attendant who becomes the president. The Coen brothers have a gift for telling stories that fall somewhere between being tragedies and comedies (See the more dark The Man Who Wasn't There, above). The story takes place in the 20's and shows the early industrial America, as well as news journalism of that era, very artfully done. It is a good story about what power can do to someone's characters, as well as how they are changed by it.
