Pulled out the director's cut of this film ('84) noir by the Cohen bros again for a viewing and still enthralled by many different facets - the orginiality of the shots, the plot, the pace, the wonderful acting, especially by M. Emmet Walsh.
John Getz as Ray kind of fizzled out into TV work (as did Dan Hedaya, the unfortunate husband) but is perfect in his role.
And, as a complement, I think I'll re-see Fargo with a pregnant Francis McDormand who, even if she's not a Salma Heyek, has more acting capacity in her left breast than the former....
I know: who cares? Nothing's simple.
