20 Things You Didn't Know About Miller's Crossing
10. It Was The First Film That John Turturro, Steve Buscemi And Jon Polito Worked With The Coens On
The Coens - like other famous auteurs of their generation, like Quentin Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson - are well-known for having a revolving door of famous faces that they always cast in their movies (including John Goodman, George Clooney and Joel’s wife, Frances McDormand).
Three of the Coens’ most prolific collaborators to star in their films include Steve Buscemi, John Turturro and Jon Polito, and Miller’s Crossing is actually the first film to star these three actors.
They went on to star in many of their films - Buscemi was featured in Fargo and The Big Lebowski; Polito in The Hudsucker Proxy and The Man Who Wasn’t There and Turturro in Barton Fink and O Brother Where Art Thou?
