In “Baby Driver,” writer/director Edgar Wright puts the pedal to the metal for a propulsive, music-driven crime caper.

The titular Baby (Ansel Elgort) is paying off a debt to crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey) by working as his rubber-burning getaway driver. Doc is the ruthless, short-tempered mastermind behind a series of robberies in Atlanta.

Baby’s backstory involves a tragic automobile accident in which his parents were killed, leaving him with chronic tinnitus, a “hum in the drum,” as Doc calls it – meaning that Baby functions best when rock music is blaring from one of his many iPods directly into his earbuds.

While Doc employs different thugs for each robbery, his most trusted crew includes coked-up Buddy (Jon Hamm), his wife Darling (Eliza Gonzales), and menacing, trigger-happy Bats (Jamie Foxx).

It was a 50-year reunion for Westport artist Miggs Burroughs and film producer Paula Wagner, pictured at a local screening of her latest movie, “Marshall,” the true story of a little known but sensational trial early in the career of Thurgood Marshall. Wagner and Burroughs were classmates and friends at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama, after which she went on to become one of the most successful agents in Hollywood. Her artists included Sean Penn, Oliver Stone, Val Kilmer, Demi More, Liam Neeson, and Tom Cruise, with whom she produced several of his most popular movies including “Mission Impossible I, II and III.” “Marshall” takes place in 1940, when a black chauffeur was accused of raping his wealthy, white Greenwich employer, and is eventually represented by Marshall in a Bridgeport courtroom. The screenplay was written by Westporter and famed attorney Michael Koskoff and his son Jacob. “Everyone agreed that it was a beautiful, powerful and important movie,” said Burroughs.
