All I know about Cool Hand Luke is he can eat a lot of eggs.
And the money shot? The photograph at the end. The "photoshoped" one of Luke with the two hot girls. The one that "Drag" (Kennedy) had torn in four parts is now once again whole. They'd retrieved it & taped it up.
***Just an addendum. I saw Kennedy on TCM a couple months back talking about this scene that the OP cites. The girl and the inmates (actors) were never together for it. They used some non descript local girl who was fully dressed and standing at distance so they had something for the actors to focus their response to so that it would look uniform in the finished product.
No, women know what they are doing. They just pretend to be innocent.
You tell 'em, partner...sarcasm be damned!
Will you please stop stalking me.
I've yet to see any evidence of cognitive improvement, post-op. I'm afraid I can't discharge you quite yet.
One of my favorite movie quotes of all time is from Cool Hand Luke:
And got-damn, Paul Newman was hot.
That's why they're so in' wonderful.
lol no. Not a chance
Why? Seriously, Summers, I'd like to hear what makes him hot.
True, it doesn't quite match the cinematic brilliance of The Land Before Time.
Since it's all opinion anyhow, arguing it is pointless.
It's a great flick
Don't know about Summers, but I love Paul Newman's pouty lips. A sexy mouth is such a turn on.
And besides the physical attributes, his mannerisms were very sexy and masculine. I like a man who doesn't talk too much, a man who is strong without having to constantly put on the "I'm gonna kick your ass" loudmouth bull . He was awesome![]()
not many movies do
Thanks for your candor. I genuinely enjoyed it.

I remember seeing this as a child in '67. You can't fathom the deep issues involved with the characters when you're so young.
I don't rank pictures. It's my religion.
Now 45 years later it's an intense experience watching this as "Luke" bashes his head against the small world he's trapped within. And his keepers relish the opportunity of breaking him physically, spirtually and emotionally. Obviously it has been awhile since someone of "Luke's" at ude has come to them for processing. Probably never. There's no money involved here as when Robbins is processed in "Shawshank." "Luke" is processed because he is "Luke." And for no other reason. The bosses here have grown mature and lazy and almost no account until "Luke" arrives. They straighten up now. Their heads turn with small jerks & imperceptible spasms. There eyes fill with color. Even "Carl" the floor walker expands at the sight and sounds of "Luke."
I would've have liked to see this picture now for the first time as an adult. Not a remake, but, have this sealed to my eves for 45 years and then view it. It would be something else again.
Mm-hmm... not to mention those hollowed out cheeks, brilliant blue eyes, square jaw line. Delicious.
Seriously, why would someone ask me to defend my statement that Paul Newman (may he rest in peace) was hot?![]()
Just to clarify... you do know the guy speaking in the clip I posted is NOT Paul Newman, right?
love paul newman's abs you can grate cheese on those things
