"Shop Girl", Steve Martin's latest film, contains a frolicking dialogue between the old and new, including the film relationship between Martin and Claire Danes. Danes wears Andy Warhol style eyeglasses while driving a rickety royal blue pick-up truck. She prefers designer renditions of 1950s dresses.
