448 lk Neil erinevatel koomilistel, sooja pilguga inimese sisse vaatavatel lugudel on üks ühine nimetaja: kirjutusmasin. Mõnes neist on sellel väiksem roll, mõnes suurem. Kirjutusmasin esindab paljudele teatavat käsitööoskust, ilu ja isikupära, mida on moodsas maailmas aina raskem ja raskem leida. Ometi on Tom Hanks neis lugudes selleni küündinud, just samasugusel tagasihoidlikult tundlikul moel, nagu oma filmirollides.
