...collecting material on a tape recorder, he captured Po' Lazarus, Carter's song about a man who is hunted by a lawman and gunned down. In 2000 the song found a new audience when it appeared on the sound track to the Depression-era film O Brother, Where Art Thou...
Conveniently, Joan, like many a teen, has too many preoccupations to ask God whether Muhammad is his Prophet or if God so loved the world that he gave up his only son. God also avoids the big picture: no talk of worship or salvation or Thou Shalt Nots. "The way we approach what God says is, Less is more," says Hall.

He falls in love with the daughter and learns...

Joel and Ethan Coen, having made a film whose title (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) was taken from a Preston Sturges movie, now launch a full, fond invasion of Sturges territory. In the tradition of The Lady Eve and The Palm Beach Story, this is a farce with chic repartee, devious twists and a cheerfully sardonic take on the human need for greed. Intolerable Cruelty sends moviegoers back to the '40s, when pretty people said witty things. It's the brothers' brightest, most accessible jape...
