FILM 1792: MILLER'S CROSSING
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.
The character Eddie Dane was originally written for Peter Stormare and was to be named The Swede. Stormare had to decline as he was appearing as Hamlet in the Broadway production. The part was then re-written and re-cast, and became The Dane.
The Coen Brothers reportedly turned down Batman (1989) because it would have interfered with this film.
'Twist' is a slang term for a girl or woman, often used derogatorily.
In the script, the film takes place in 1929.
Steve Buscemi was cast as Mink Larouie because he could speak faster than anyone else.
The fight poster in Drop Johnson's apartment has as the under card a fight featuring "Bunky Knudsen." Semon "Bunkie" Knudsen was the President of Ford Motor Company in 1969, and before that a top executive at General Motors. the poster also includes the name Lars Thorvald, which is a reference to 'Alfred Hitchcock''s Rear Window (1954).
