![]() We don't see Tom, our main character until the next shot, where he appears behind the bald head of a man (Johnny Casper, played by Jon Polito) who's delivering a lecture into the camera - or just past it - about friendship, character, ethics. The movie is set into motion with a close-up of three ice cubes plopped into a glass tumbler. The other one is on the head of his boss and friend, Leo O'Bannon (Albert Finney). The hat in all three close-ups, hat belongs to Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne). Take a look at the four shots from Joel and Ethan Coen's "Miller's Crossing" on this page: three close-ups of the same hat and a long shot of another one with a body under. Warning: This post (and the short film montage/hommage I put together to accompany it, above) may contain spoilers.
