''Blood Simple'' was the first feature starring Joel Coen’s soon-to-become wife, [[Frances McDormand]]; the first scored by [[Carter Burwell]], who’s collaborated—often, as here, magnificently—with the Coens on all their subsequent scores; and the first shot by cinematographer [[Barry Sonnenfeld]], who also worked on the Coens’ next two films before embarking on his own directorial career... It is no small miracle—and a testament to the Coens themselves—that so many exceptional talents connected so early in their respective careers."<ref name=":Orr"/>
