O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?

A fantasy musical comedy based on Homer's The Odyssey, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? is a picaresque tale of three hapless con¬victs fleeing from life on a chain gang, and led by Ulysses McGill (George Clooney). Accompanied by a bluegrass/spirituals score and helped on their way by a blind railway work¬er who accurately predicts that the fortune they find will not be the for¬tune they seek, the escapees discover on their journey such wonders as a duplicitous bible salesman (John Goodman); Babyface Nelson who meets them in mid-hold-up and likes their style; and Charles Durning as a governor on the re-election trail.
