Did You Know?
| Trivia | Writers Joel Coen and Ethan Coen suffered writer's block while writing Miller's Crossing (1990). They took a three week break and wrote Barton Fink (1991) a film about a writer with writer's block. The name of Tom Regan's residence is "The Barton Arms". In one of the newspapers an article reads 'Seven Dead in Hotel Fire,' another reference to Barton Fink. See more » |
| Goofs | When Tom throws the glass at the mirror in the woman's washroom, the cracks in the glass change between shots. See more » |
