Talk:The Hudsucker Proxy

message: I'm inclined to believe that on the article page under quotes there's a misinterpretation of the quote "Long live the Hud!" displayed. I believe that, in the context of the film, "Long live the Hud!" is more just the board members paying homage to their recently deceased employer as opposed to a reference to another film.
Thoughts?
I suspect the Coen brothers and Sam Raimi were paying tribute to veteran actor Paul Newman, even though he plays antagonist Sidney J. Mussberger, not Waring Hudsucker. Mussberger was alive to hear the board members, while Hudsucker was dead--having dived 44 (or 45, if you count the mezzanine) stories to his death.
Persons with access to the New York Times archives can refer to an editorial written by the actor Paul Newman and published on August 19, 2003: Paul Newman Is Still HUD.  Mr. Newman was chiding The Fox News Network for suing Al Franken, the political satirist, for using the phrase fair and balanced in the title of his book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. Newman was rephrasing the slogan, Paul Newman is HUD, which was used to promote the 1963 film for which the actor was nominated for an Academy award.
:the article does need citations and sources for its claims; the process of getting it made, especially the references to joel silver's contributions, may be true but also reads as POV. --  Denstat 15:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: One of the classical pieces used in the soundtrack seems to be missing. It plays during the "laughing montage" when Norville is appointed president of Hudsucker Industries. It sounds like a march, but I'm unable to identify the title. 80.13.90.124 (talk) 11:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing music 

message: As we know, before they were an 'established duo' (a feat that took them 20 years to achieve, apparently), Joel got director credit, and Ethan got producer credit, even though it was public knowledge they both did both. The infobox for every Coen Bros film - with the exception of this one - features both brothers as director and producer, with the uncredited party mentioned as such. Except this one. In attempting to edit the infobox, one sees this...
-- Do NOT add Ethan. He's uncredited, and uncredited people aren't included in the infobox --
I don't know who put this there, but if it's true, how does whoever added it explain why EVERY other Coen Bros film lists both brothers, and hundreds - possibly thousands - of other films do likewise if the uncredited party made a significant or noteworthy contribution.
I decided not to edit this article simply because I don't know WikiPedia rules regarding such matters.203.221.113.60 (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit warring problem 

message: I did some copyedits and kept getting tripped up about the line re. Buzz chasing Norville. Ultimately, I don't think why he chased him needs further explanation, so I removed it. The dependent clause + passive voice were awkward. Maybe something like : Mussburger re-hired him, and he convinced Buzz that Norville stole his flexi-straw idea if there's a real need to iron out the details. Still clunky. Anyway. Just explaining the flat-out removal. --EEMIV (talk) 14:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
