Movie: Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Tagline: "What we've got here is failure to communicate."
Trivia: A Southern prison camp was built for this movie just north of Stockton, California. A dozen buildings were constructed, including a barracks, mess hall, warden’s quarters, guard shack, and dog kennels.
Goofs: Factual errors: At one point in the movie a “white on red” stop sign is shown. At that point in history stop signs were “black on yellow.”
“Luke Jackson is a cool, gutsy prisoner in a Southern chain gang, who, while refusing to buckle under to authority, keeps escaping and being recaptured. The prisoners admire Luke because, as Dragline explains it, “You’re an original, that’s what you are!” Nevertheless, the camp staff actively works to crush Luke until he finally breaks.
