My daughter sat down and watched It Happened One Night with Clark Gable a few months before she saw O Brother, Where Art Thou so I could point out why I always think of George Clooney as a latter day Gable...suave and FUNNY.

There's also a cinematic allusion at work in the title of the movie. If you've seen the 1941 movie Sullivan's Travels, after his experiences dealing with Depression Era America, the protagonist wants to make a movie called O Brother Where Art Thou. Sullivan's Travels being one of my favorite movies since childhood, it was a slam dunk that I had to see the Coen Brothers' movie.
