Raising Arizona (1987) is an early Coen Brothers film and the first to really show off their gift for comedy. Ex-con "Hi" (Nicolas Cage) and ex-cop "Edwina" (Holly Hunter) are desperate for a child of their own. Unable to conceive, they decide that a local wealthy couple with quintuplets can afford to give up a child. Hi and Ed abduct the baby. In doing so, they get much more from life than they bargained for. Look for great performances by an ensemble cast including Dan Goodman, William Forsyth, Francis McDormand and former heavy weight boxer Tex Cobb. Any fan of "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou" will surely see the roots in this weird and wonderful predecessor.
