EC-CHAP Film Series: "Cool Hand Luke" (GP). 1967.

SUGGESTED DONATION $5.00
 

Cool Hand Luke (1967) was directed by Stuart Rosenberg and stars Paul Newman, George Kennedy, and Strother Martin. Along with stellar performances by Newman, Kennedy, and Martin, Cool Hand Luke features a superb supporting cast, including Ralph Waite, Harry Dean Stanton, Dennis Hopper, Wayne Rogers, and Joe Don Baker as members of the chain gang. -Rotten Tomatoes

“It’s the moving character study of a non-conformist, anti-hero loner who bullheadedly resists authority and the Establishment.” .-filmsite

"All these years after the release of "Cool Hand Luke" in 1967, all you have to do is say, ‘What we have here is--failure to communicate.’ Everyone knows the line, and everyone can identify the film, even those who may not have seen it... It is a great film. On that most of us can agree. But such a film could not possibly be made in more recent decades, not one starring Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise or other actors comparable to Paul Newman's stature. It is simply too painful." - Roger Ebert

The film was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Actor (Paul Newman), Best Supporting Actor (George Kennedy in a break-out role), Best Adapted Screenplay (Donn Pearce and Frank R. Pierson), and Best Original Music Score (Lalo Schifrin). George Kenedy won for Best Supporting Actor -filmsite
