What's left behind the scenes
- This is the first film by Joel and Ethan Coen not shot by Barry Sonnenfeld (Roger Deakins served as cinematographer, and the film became his undeniable success). Sonnenfeld himself appeared in a cameo: he bumps into Barton Fink in a restaurant.
- This is the first film to win three main awards (the Palme d'Or, Best Director, and Best Actor) at the Cannes Film Festival.
- Joel and Ethan Coen stated that the idea for the screenplay about a screenwriter in a creative crisis came to them when they were suffering from a creative crisis while working on the script for "Miller's Crossing" (1990). Furthermore, the film is considered to be partially based on a story that happened to screenwriter Clifford Odets.
- The roles of John Turturro, John Goodman, John Polito, and Steve Buscemi – frequent actors in Joel and Ethan Coen's films – were originally written specifically for them.
- The character of William Mayhew was based on Nobel laureate William Faulkner, who early in his career wrote a screenplay about boxing and, like his character, struggled with alcoholism.
- The typewriter used by the main character is an UNDERWOOD Universal.
- The ending with the bird diving into the sea happened by chance. Joel and Ethan Coen said that the bird unexpectedly flew into the frame, and they liked it so much they decided to keep it.
- Karl Mundt (the enigmatic killer) is the name of a former head of the commission that created the “Hollywood blacklist” during the McCarthy era. This commission ruined the careers of screenwriters, actors, and filmmakers suspected of socialist sympathies, such as Barton Fink.
- To prepare for his role, John Turturro attended secretarial school, learning to type. Between takes, he typed the draft script of the romantic comedy "Love and Cigarettes" (2005), which he also directed, with the Coen brothers serving as executive producers, as they did on this film.
