“As black, sinful and nasty as a week full of Hitchcocks, this is as fresh and intoxicating now as it was back then. In a word: deadly. ”
The Coen’s first film is a terrific neo-noir. M. Emmett Walsh plays Visser, an unscrupulous private eye hired by Texas bar owner Marty (Dan Hedaya) to murder Marty's faithless wife Abby (Frances McDormand) and her paramour, Ray (John Getz), one of Marty's employees. Inevitably, things do not go quite as planned.
The original trailer (NOT the re-release one already on YouTube) for Joel & Ethan Coen's classic debut. A husband hires a hitman to murder his unfaithful wife and her lover, but it goes seriously wrong for all involved. Stars Frances McDormand, John Getz, Dan Hedaya and M. Emmett Walsh.
