As the film progressed, attitude, language, and suits were similar to that of the 30’s and 40’s crime films based on novels written by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and the “comic” exaggerated violence seemed to be similar to that of the 1990’s film "Dick Tracy." Tom Reagan and Verna were main characters of "Miller's Crossing," names that I suspect were tributes to Regan and Velma of Chandler novels. As the plot progressed, I noticed a similarity to the plot of Hammett’s novel “The Glass Key.” I’ve come to the conclusion that the Coen Brothers have produced this film as a tribute to the great black and white film noir works of the mid 20th century.
