Thank Wilder for the effervescent Wes Anderson and his stock company (the Wilsons, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Seymour Cassel, Dipak Pallana), who always combine to bring something delightfully original and playful to the screen (the Serpico staging is fabulous, with its model train). Many jokes told visually, e.g. Murray and Schwartzman trying to ambush each other, quirky use of curtains as chapter headings, dog! Even the calligraphy is a plot pointer!
Olivia Williams is the object of affection, with Brian Cox, Mason Gamble, Sara Tanaka, Stephen McCole, Connie Nielsen, Luke Wilson. Also featuring a Tenenbaum and a Dignam!!
Shot (by Robert Yeoman) using the widescreen ratio really well. Music by Mark Mothersbaugh (with lots of well chosen old material also) and edited by David Moritz.

There were at least six lateral tracking shots, but I stopped counting.
