Directed by Stuart Rosenberg, Cool Hand Luke (1967) found a receptive audience amongst the anti-establishment crowd. Focusing on a man sent to a Florida prison chain gang, and his refusal to conform to the system, the story is dramatic and inspiring. Classic scenes abound. The cinematography is brilliant, filmed in warm hues, making the viewer sense the hot sun and sweat involved. Paul Newman is excellent in the lead role. George Kennedy won an Oscar for his supporting role. The rest of the cast is great as well, including Dennis Hopper, Richard Davalos, Jo Van Fleet and Strother Martin.
