The Merry Gentlemen
Marcia Gay Harden is a great actress and has had lots of roles of late. Michael Keaton is a pretty good one himself, but not so much. The Merry Gentlemen provides him a role and a directing shot. I concur with Roger Ebert -- very good. Nice tone. The actress was in the also worthwhile (if, I agree, flawed) The Girl in the Cafe (another small scale character drama). Keaton has a lot right here, music too.
