Ironically but vainly dedicated to the 50's gossips

Rating: 5/10 (10 March 2019)

Despite the fact this movie is ironically dedicated to the 50's gossips (Charlton Heston, Esther Williams, Gene Kelly, ...), despite the constant second degree humour, despite all these excellent actors, despite my keen interest in the filmography of the Coen brothers, I got seriously bored!
In bulk: a Roman legionnaire who discusses sociology with communists who have just kidnapped him; a starlet who plans to adopt her own newborn; a suitcase full of banknotes flowing right next to a submarine, because of a chihuahua; a motion picture exec who daily confesses his sins; ... and so on and so on ...
