It's unlike any other Coen movie. I like it a lot, but it doesn't have a big following. It's probably their most visually stunning movie, along with Miller's Crossing.Ordered for under $9. Thank You!

I only have that on dvd too.
I do have Hudsucker Proxy which I recommend. It's a Warner Archive bluray.
Looking forward to when you watch Miller's Crossing, Ron. Might be my favorite of their movies.

Not part of the Coen Brothers set in question. This was actually recommended as an add-on watch.
Watched it this morning. My feelings? I am a little numb. The film is just under two hours in length and one really feels every single minute ticking by. The story moves at a snail pace, taking its time to introduce you to its characters and plot.
It's great to see Jon Polito, who has starred in just about every Coen Brothers movie made. Looking him up on IMDB I was saddened to see that he passed away in 2016. Didn't know that.
Getting back to the film at hand....
This Coen Brothers effort is mostly boring. Yes, it looks visually striking and the B&W photography is beautiful. However, the film just takes forever to get to where it's going, and when it does, it's a bit of a letdown.
I didn't hate it. I didn't love it.
Not one of the better Coen Brothers films.
