Right No22.
Which of these Coen brothers film is the odd one out – and why? (one point for film, one point for reason)
Blood Simple
Fargo
The Big Lebowski
Burn After Reading

I *think* Its The Big Lebowski as the others in this four star Frances McDormand (Married to Joel Coen) and she is not in Big Lebowski.

Thats my answer, and I'm sticking to it! (Because it could also be Blood Simple as its the only one out of the four never nominated for an award!)

Unbeknownst to him, however, the make-up for the Tin Man contained aluminum dust, which ended up coating Ebsen's lungs. He also had an allergic reaction to it. One day he was physically unable to breathe and had to be rushed to hospital. The part was immediately recast and MGM gave no public reason why Ebsen was being replaced.
