Comments on: The Cool Fifties, The Hot Sixties http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/4438.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

Irony: consider this take on it by Julian Barnes (from his excellent <i>Flaubert's parrot</i>): "Often irony is just an exaggerated coincidence". You have little control over coincidences; analysis is useless, therefore experience is unattainable. Mantra of postmodernism. Brilliant post.

The leads are the two "coolest" stars of the Fifties, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The very name bespeaks irony, but the film gently, even reverently, pokes fun at the conventions of cool. Also, the title song, by Henry Mancini, lends itself to different interpretations. Bobby Darin's version is the essence of cool, while Sarah Vaughan's hints of the sad earnestness of the latter part of the decade.
