TNT Preview: Cool Hand Luke

Hi! How was your weekend? For our first TNT of February, we'll be watching the 1967 drama Cool Hand Luke


Wikipedia

Cool Hand Luke stars Paul Newman as Luke Jackson, a war vet and new inmate to a Florida prison, where a cruel warden reigns supreme. Being a more free-spirited man, Luke doesn't take well to the rigid structure in prison and bucks against all attempts to make him conform to the system's ways. George Kennedy, Strother Martin and Jo Van Fleet all co-star in this film, which is based on the true 1950 book Cool Hand Luke. Donn Pearce authored this novel after his experiences in a prison chain gang, and the movie's re-enactment earned it preservation in the National Film Registry in 2005. Here's the trailer:



Cool Hand Luke will be on this Thursday at our regular TNT time of 8pm EST. If you'd like to watch it online instead, here's where you can find it:

I'll be back with another post this evening; I'm tackling the last thing I was unable to do during my timeout last year and want to tell you all about it before I begin. See you later today!
