After "Barton Fink"'s success, the brothers had the chance to make a big-budget movie (with more money than the previous ones). That movie was "The Hudsucker Proxy". The story talks about a man who is given the opportunity to be the director of a big company because the other people in the company (the board) want to buy it at a low price so they intend to have him ruin it. Instead of ruining the company, the man invents the hula hoop and becomes famous.
