I also thought the barrage of theater actors in small roles was a bit gimmicky. Very few of them had a chance to make much of an individual impression, though I guess their agents scored in getting them into a timely Spielberg film.

Good movie, though!

It was filmed in New York. Should they have flown in bit players from LA? (NM)

since when is it a gimmick to use terrific stage actors in a film?

this sentiment astonishes me.

is it a gimmick when we use the same actors in small roles in a play?

p.s. 99.9% of the audience for this film is not even aware that there is a "barrage" of stage actors in it.
