Intolerable Cruelty was the Coen Brothers' first work-for-hire project. Initially just a script polish, they eventually took over the director's helm as well. They aren't able to fully rescue this film, but we do find some things to appreciate about it.

In the Coen canon, it’s almost the film that wasn’t there. Audiences didn’t show up for it, but The Man Who Wasn’t There remains a favorite of critics and film noir fans.

To shine some light in the darkness, we’re joined by @EddieMuller, host of TCM’s “Noir Alley.”
