Plot: From the "The Maltese Falcon" to the "The Dead," filmmaker John Huston created provocative adaptations of stories and novels -- and "Wise Blood" is considered to be among his most daring. An unusual blend of absurd comedy and Gothic drama, this tale comes from the imagination of writer Flannery O'Connor. It focuses on a Hazel, a youthful veteran of the Second World War. Hazel returns to his Southern roots, only to find his parents' home boarded up. In search of spiritual meaning, he exchanges his soldier's uniform for preacher garb and heads for the city. There, this grandson of a boisterous zealot meets a variety of folk who gradually form a flock. These colorful types later exemplify spiritual beliefs that range from devout to obsessed. Or their religiosity might be an avenue for con artistry.
