COOL HAND LUKE, 1967, Warner Bros., 126 min. Dir. Stuart Rosenberg. When cool cat Luke (Paul Newman) gets drunk and decides to lop off the heads of parking meters, he’s charged with destruction of public property and sentenced to a chain gang. The proverbial ton of bricks falls on him for a relatively minor offense, and his rebellious free spirit foments a dangerous contest of wills with the warden (Strother Martin) and his sadistic underlings (Morgan Woodward, Luke Askew, Robert Donner). Nominated for four Oscars, including Best Music (Lalo Schifrin).

Discussion between films with composer Lalo Schifrin, moderated by Larry Karaszewski.
