Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Dropped this short synopsis as the article now consists of a very long synopsis.

In the film, Julian Marty, a bar owner played by Dan Hedaya, hires a private detective, played by M. Emmett Walsh, to spy on his wife (played by Frances McDormand) to find out whom she is cheating on her husband with. The detective returns with photos showing that Abby is cheating on her husband with Ray (played by John Getz), an employee at the bar that Marty owns. Ray expects to have been fired, and when Marty doesn't fire him, he quits. Marty still owes a few weeks' wages, but threatens to shoot Ray if he comes back to the bar.

OK, I am going to move some of this to the main article, under the spoiler warning.

Does anyone else think that the faux commentary (on the R1 DVD, anyway) is a spoof on Peter Cowie's commentaries for the Criterion Collection?
