For students of television, it's also fascinating to hear about how Williams' improvisational style utterly flummoxed the cameramen working on the show, prompting producer Garry Marshall to add a fourth operator whose sole job was to follow the star at all times in order to catch his free-wheeling antics.

Candy's feminist twist on "Little Red Riding Hood" — a wolf who falls prey to a woman's desire, rather than his own violent instincts — is a winner, she's catching breaks from empty subway cars and riverside lookie-loos, and her improvisational style is bringing texture to the backdrop and the dialogue.

With a name based on a play on the French supermarket chain Carrefour, and a sound root firmly in Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid-era Sore Throat and the improvisational chaos of Sete Star Sept, a Hotel Carrefournia set is the most intense and unpredictable 15 minutes you may ever experience.
