| | Cool Hand Luke (1967) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Starring: Paul Newman, George Kennedy, J.D. Cannon, Robert Drivas, Lou Antonio, Strother Martin, Harry Dean Stanton, Dennis Hopper, Morgan Woodward, Clifton James, and Jo Van Fleet. |
 | | They see him as a glib con-man. The top-dog, Dragline (George Kennedy), warns him and the other new prisoners to learn the rules, thus echoing the instructions of the warden (Strother Martin) and barracks guard (Clifton James). |
 | | Luke's reply, "I wish you'd stop bein' so good to me, Captain," enrages the warden who cracks him with his whip and then observes, "What we've got here is failure to communicate," thus triggering a couple of generations of bad Strother Martin impersonations. |
