Production [edit]
- In the Coen brothers' film Barton Fink (1991), the title character deals with writers' block while attempting to write a screenplay for a Wallace Beery wrestling picture. At the time they wrote it, the Coens were unaware of this movie. In addition, Barton Fink features a character based somewhat on William Faulkner that Fink consults for help in writing the script.[1]
- Director John Ford had his name removed from the picture.
- Nat Pendleton has a uncredited role as a wrestler.
