We start out with a chain gang prison break at Mississippi’s Parchman Farm Penitentiary in Sunflower County in the Mississippi Delta.  The year is 1937.  The film is said to be loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey, but you sure don’t need to be a Greek scholar to enjoy the hell out of this great movie.  The soundtrack won the Grammy award and is good to the very last “Amen.”

We’ve got buried treasure, wanted prisoners trying to stay wanted, a scene at the Mississippi “crossroads of musical fame”, the Ku Klux Klan, Mississippi state elections, and a great deal more to feast your tired eyes upon.  John Goodman is extraordinary as always in his cream colored Southern business suit and suspenders.  Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? is a great movie and I give it five highfives, “and it goes well with popcorn.“  HL
