Cool Hand Luke (1967)
 email this review to a friend
Stuart Rosenberg, a hard-working director of series television and theatrical films who captured the simmering anti-authoritarianism of the late 1960s in the widely popular Paul Newman prison drama "Cool Hand Luke," died on Thursday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 79.
Paul Newman projected a grinning indomitability as the instinctive and irrepressible rebel Lucas Jackson, an inmate of a Southern prison who locks horns with a sadistic overseer played by Strother Martin. Mr. Martin pronounced the film's most famous line: "What we've got here is failure to communicate." George Kennedy won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as his sidekick and part of a totally unfaultable cast. This film was characterized by ruthlessly realistic and plausible staging and directing by Rosenberg.
One of the absolute best films of the 60's.
Skintastic Moment: Joy Harmon never gets nude, but she does torture the chain gang by soaping up her roadster and soaking down her flimsy dress in the sexiest car wash in the history of cinema.

I watched this movie when I was about 17, being very uncool for watching something more than 2 years old. I did so because of the song "Civil War" by Guns N Roses. Whenever I would play it and that would begin, my mom would tell me about this movie. I'm so glad she did. It really is an excellent flick.
And f*cking hell, they just don't make 'em like Newman anymore. Damn that was a good looking man. |
