Paul Newman Shines in the title role, George Kennedy as his sidekick won an Oscar(R). Year: 1967 Director: Stuart Rosenberg Starring: Paul Newman, George Kennedy, J.D. Cannon DVD Features: Production Notes Theatrical Trailer Amazon.com essential video: Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke. And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 1970s disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an Oscar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. It's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in the line of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest or The Shawshank Redemption. Certain moments have become classics--particularly the hardboiled egg-eating contest, and the immortal line (drooled by Strother Martin, as a sadistic redneck prison officer), 'What we have here is a failure to communicate.' And don't forget, Luke is also the source of the oft-quoted driving ditty, 'I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I have my plastic Jesus, right here on the dashboard of my car...' He is cool, all right. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen and digital stereo. --Jim Emerson Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Review of Cool Hand Luke Paul Newman is at his best in this movie.

Rating: - Cool Hand Luke I order this classic movie in Blu-ray format and it was like watching it for the 1st time! Rating: - Well done! This is a blu-ray remake of the original movie and it's well done. Great movie too!! Rating: - Classic Tale of NerDoWell Becoming Hero This movie was so before its time. We ordered it days before Newman's death was reported, and when we got the movie in the mail, he had just passed away. So, we watched it with reverance for Newman's full body of work over the years. As far as prison movies go, this would have to be at the top of the list. As far as Newman goes, this is HIS movie. He dominates the film from start to finish -- with strong supporting roles from all the actors, who have gone on to great work themselves. The movie is ...
