Fargo (1960) Jerry Lundegaard – Tony Curtis Marge Gunderson – Shirley MacLaine Carl Showalter – Dennis Weaver Gaer Grimsrud – Neville Brand Wade Gustafson – Karl Malden Tony Curtis with that heavy New York accent as upper-midwesterner Jerry Lundegaard? I could see him as Showalter maybe. He could do different voices e.g. Some Like It Hot. Also, I believe some things would change for 1960. Even though the Production Code was crumbling by that time, I'm not sure whether Marge could be shown as pregnant. Also, her former classmate who she meets at the Radisson ("Oh yeah, you can't beat the Radisson") would not be of Asian ancestry (but there WERE Radisson Hotels). And would the studios of 1960 really be that interested in correct regional accents? I had all of these questions in mind when I chose my cast. Having said all that, I always enjoy your recasting exercises. Keep'em coming.
