...hapless wife and Goldie Hawn as a longtime friend round out the leading roles. Even with its all-star cast, Town and Country has had a long and arduous journey through the Hollywood studio system. Costing an estimated $80 million to make—a far cry from the minimalist budgets of most romantic comedies—the film has gone through about two years of shoots and delayed re-shoots.

A vocal minority of historians known as biblical minimalists claim that most of Kings was a myth concocted hundreds of years later to legitimize a later regime. ("He was making it up," says University of Copenhagen minimalist Niels Peter Lemche, of Kings' anonymous editor.) The minimalists argue that there is no good reason beyond piety to think that Jerusalem...
