The Coens re-create the madcap dialogue of 1940s screwball comedies, particularly His Girl Friday…

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 09 Oct 2003

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 09 Oct 2003

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 09 Oct 2003

Review of Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 08 Oct 2003

Review of Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for Critic Doctor (123) on 08 Oct 2003
