The Movie. Produced by the Coen Brothers, "O Brother, Where Art Thou" (2000) is another movie about a convict (George Clooney) who breaks out of prison to try to find the loot he has hidden. However, there are some complications. One is that he has to convince his chain-mates on the chain gang (John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson) to join him. Another is that the home farm where the stash is hidden is about to be flooded to become part of a reservoir. And a third is that there really is no cache, it was a ruse just to get out.
Anyway, the three do break out, evade the FTF hounds, break their chains, dash through the alligator and water moccasin infested swamps, enjoy a brief liberty during which time their bluegrass band, The Soggy Bottom Boys, achieves stardom overnight, get captured and then at the non-cache site just as Clooney is about to be lynched ... well, I don't want to give the ending away.
Awards. Although nominated for two Oscars, Cinematography and Screenplay, the movie, which is about two tunes short of being an opera, is best known for its soundtrack featuring Allison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, and Ralph Stanley which obtained overnight success, revived nationwide interest in bluegrass and won the Grammy .
Clues. There are absolutely no clues embedded in the text above.
The cache is not underwater. But you will have use for a watercraft (canoe or kayak) as well as a watermark.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
