Aw, but what about the cat? Wow, whoever the animal handler was for this film, they really did some great work but, who exactly played 'Ulysses' then? The Coen's appear to have another hit on their hands by looking at the other side of success. Here we have a conceited amateur performer who is trudging around trying to make a living when half of his act has died. He's in mourning and doesn't know it and sings mournful songs with little subject appeal. He's not someone you'd want to have anything to do with yet he can find a whistleable and memorable tune from some hidden depths. Cinematography is spot on, dialogue is spot on, casting is spot on, sounds are spot on. What more can you say!
