SCARPELLI vs. COOL HAND LUKE #136

What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate”

The next film on the list is 1967′s Cool Hand Luke, I was able to watch this one hour before it expired on HBOGO the other night. Cool Hand Luke comes in at #136 on the list of The Top 250. The rating for this film on imdb is an 8.3. This movie was directed by Stuart Rosenberg who also directed The Amityville Horror & The Pope of Greenwich Village. I was surprised that I only remembered bits and pieces of this film from my childhood.

Paul Newman plays the title character Luke, Paul Newman must have gotten so much ass in his life. Luke is sentenced to serve two years in a prison camp/ prison farm for knocking the tops off parking meters. That’s a hell of a lot of time for vandalism. Luke has a hard time adjusting to the southern prison life, but after a visit from his mother and soon to follow her death Luke wants out. He has several unsuccessful escape attempts.

Luke is met with dislike the moment he arrives in prison from another inmate Dragline portrayed by George Kennedy who most of you probably remember as Det. Ed Hocken from the Naked Gun movies. Dragline kicks the shit out of Luke early in the movie. Dragline gains a respect for Luke during the fight for Luke’s will to contentiously get up after being hit over and over again. The two become friends and Dragline gives him the nickname Cool Hand Luke during a poker game. Dragline starts off this film like a viscous grizzly bear and finishes like a lost puppy dog.

While Dragline is boasting how much food his little friend Luke can eat, he is met with an argument from other inmates. Luke makes statement that he can eat 50 hard boiled eggs in one hour and all the inmates make bets on it, Dragline takes all the wagers against Luke. I have actually seen something just like this. I was in Virginia out drinking with my cousin Eric when I was 18 years old. We stopped at a diner on the way home and this same wager was going on in this diner. There was about 10-12 people standing around this table and they had bet that this one cat could eat 50 hard boiled eggs. I watched for a few minutes and it made me sick especially because at the time I hated hard boiled eggs. I like them now, I started eating them on Cobb salads and in recent years I started eating them whole. I only had one bad experience from eating them whole. I bought 24 hard boiled eggs from Giant and by the 3rd day I ate one and it didn’t sit easy. Side note on the story about Eric and I being in that diner while we standing there watching the guy eat the eggs we started talking to two guys. The next day we were in Georgetown shopping at Urban Outfitters where I bought this blue and white striped three quarter length jacket with a hood. I wonder what happened to that jacket, I loved it. The weird thing was when we walked out of Urban Outfitters I gave some homeless lady a few bucks and then we ran into the two guys we talking to in the diner night before. My cousin said shit like that only happens to me. To get back to the movie you will have to watch it to see how the hard boiled egg wagering went.

Speaking of wagers at the beginning of the film you see a lot of a character named Gambler that is portrayed by Wayne Rodgers from the television series MASH. Then his character kind of dwindles. Some other notable appearances through out the film. The character of Carr at the beginning of the film works as a sort of prison guard and gives the rules and regulations to the inmates when they arrive. Carr is played by Clifton James who played Charles Comiskey the owner of the Chicago White Sox in Eight Men Out and also played Sy Orlansky in one my favorite childhood movies Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. I’m full of shit favorite childhood movie, it’s still one of my favorite movies.

Another treat in this movie is you get to see Harry Dean Stanton who in the credits is just Dean Stanton and plays a character named Tramp. You also get to hear him sing a version The Midnight Special which is a prison folk song that supposedly goes all the back to the early 1900′s. I personally like the Creedence Clearwater Revival version that you can hear in Twighlight Zone The Movie another awesome movie. CCR’s version is much better than ABBA version. ABBA really did record a version of this song, it’s awful. ABBA singing a prison folk song like The Midnight Special would be like Celine Dion covering Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues. You know it’s hard finding someone in the music industry who doesn’t have an arrest record. My first two choices for that analogy were John Denver and Robert Goulet both with arrest records for drunk driving, John Denver twice.

Most of you probably know Harry Dean Stanton from his role as Roman Grant on HBO’s Big Love or in my favorite role of his Bud in another one of my favorite movies Repo Man. I met Harry Dean Stanton at a bar in Hollywood he called some chick a bitch for yelling at me when I told her I didn’t have any cigarettes left. She was questioning very loudly because I put the empty cigarette pack back in my pocket. Which I always put empty cigarette packs back in my pocket because sometimes I put cash, pills or something else that might make me soar later on in the night in the cigarette pack. I don’t how many times I have thrown away perfectly good drugs or money in what I thought to be an empty cigarette pack. So, this guy at the bar calls the girl a bitch and I heard him but the back of his head was to me. When he turned around it was Harry Dean Stanton drunk looking just like Molly Ringwalds fucked up father in Pretty in Pink. I sat and chatted with him over a drink and then left to get more cigarettes.

Speaking of guys who played Molly Ringwalds fucked up father in movies. In Cool Hand Luke you get to see a younger version of the late great Dennis Hopper who also played Molly Ringwalds fucked up father in The Pick Up Artist. Hopper plays a character named Babalugats, his character is somewhat of dimwit. He mostly makes animal noises and squeals. The only thing intelligible you hear out of him the whole movie is a half of verse of Old Mac Donald.

The Director of Photography in this film was Conrad Hall who also is the DP on 2 other films on the list American Beauty & Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This film is visually awesome. The only complaint I have about this is the run time on this film is 2 hours and 6. This movie could have been cut to an hour forty. There was a lot of repeat shots and long establishing shots. Which the length of the movie must have been a sign of the times because the editor on this film Sam O’Steen did at least 4 movies on this list including The Graduate, Rosemary’s Baby & Chinatown. All in all the acting was great especially George Kennedy who did win Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Paul Newman was nominated but lost to Rod Steiger for In the Heat of the Night.  Donn Pearce & Frank Pierson were also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay but lost to Stirling Silliphant for In the Heat of the Night. Frank Pierson later goes on to win an Oscar for Dog Day Afternoon also on the list. Imdb rating is 8.3, I think I can only give it a 6.1. What a jerk off thing to do by adding the.1. Below is the best picture I can find of that jacket I was talking about, it’s not that great a picture I’ll try to find a better one. Like always please leave your comments if for better or worse.
