Description of this Luke The Cold Hand Poster
Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison-themed film, directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy, whose performance won an Academy Award. In the title role, Newman plays Luke, a Florida prison camp inmate who refuses to submit to the system. The film, set in the early 1950s, is based on Donn Pearce's Cool Hand Luke (1965).
Pearce sold the original story to Warner Bros. who then hired him to write the screenplay for the film. Due to his lack of film experience, the studio brought in Frank Pierson to rework the script. Marie Edelman Borden, Newman's biographer, wrote that the "harsh and honest" script took elements from earlier films, notably Hombre, Newman's other film released in 1967. Roger Ebert cited Cold Hand Luke as an anti -establishment turned during the emergence of popular opposition to the Vietnam War. Filming took place in the San Joaquin River Delta region of California; the setting, which mimics a Deep South prison farm, is based on photographs and measurements taken by a team the filmmakers sent to a Road prison in Gainesville, Florida. The film uses Christian imagery.
Upon release, Cold Hand Luke received favorable reviews and was a box office success. It cemented Newman's status as one of the era's finest actors and was called "the touchstone of an era". Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Lalo Schifrin was nominated for Best Original Score. In 2005, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for the National Film Registry, considering it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film has a 100% rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, and the prison warden's (Strother Martin) line in the film, which begins "What we've got here is failure to communicate" was ranked number 11 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... list. from the American Film Institute's list of 100 movie quotes.
