Paul Newman stars in this excellent prison drama as a drunk who was arrested for cutting the heads off of parking meters and sentenced to serving two years in a seemingly harsh and irrational prison. One of the best prison films ever made. Paul Newman and George Kennedy (the big honcho of inmates) turn out very fine performances. Cool Hand Luke is highly enjoyable and memorable; a must-see!
