Bar-owner (Dan Hedaya) hires private eye (M .Emmet Walsh) to discover if wife (Frances McDormand) is having an affair.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Low-budget thriller with overtones of black comedy and a nasty climax. Not even the fine performances from Walsh and Hedaya and the Coen Brothers' sophisticated visual style can quite conceal the callowness of the script; but it's an impressive debut.
