Fargo

You may wonder why I bothered... As I have not seen this movie. Yet I was puzzled by the fact there is so little in the web to compare it with the 1996 "Remake???) Was it a remake? Reading the plot I would not think so. The reason I'm here is because I just watch the 1996 version of Fargo and curious to see there was a 1952 version I find it... Here there was only five reviews and the one displayed with the page states that the author liked about it was the part someone got shoved into a wood chipper! This also puzzled me.... and this is basically the whole comment! There is no indication in the plot this happened. But any comparative search I attempted did get me nowhere so I'm still non the wiser also I did get the plot which to me is quite different.
