"Miller's Crossing"

A great, underappreciated film.

Boy they’ve been dropping like flies from The Big Lebowski. David Huddleston a couple of weeks back.

Good. I wouldn’t want him to be that super who sold Elaine’s apartment.

I’ve seen Fargo (excellent) and Burn After Reading (OK)...I don’t know if he appeared in either.

He was not in those movies. I remember him mainly as the studio boss’s brother-in-law/errand boy in “Barton Fink.”
