naw it's Woolsworth, at least in Mississippi.

I love the movie because it is so nuts. I watch it in the context of it being a Coen brothers film. I love the parody of Kirk Douglas (as Ulysses) which occasionally shines through Clooney's delivery. The music is good. But I could have done without the marching chorus during O Death. I watch it also as a funny romp with echoes of Wizard of Oz, Bonny and Clyde and other off hand references to film and story.
