 Because Critical Jim is so fond of film noir and other classic films (such as "Casablanca" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's"), he's willing to listen to Finch as he tells his story, imagining it as a film in progress.Finch obliges, explaining how he got to be mistaken for Cletis Tout.Finch happened to be in the same jail with Micah (Richard Dreyfuss), who stole diamonds more than 20 years before, then hid the diamonds and soon landed in prison.
