COOL HAND LUKE
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich I cannot recall the first time that I viewed this film nor can I recall how many times I have seen it...quite a few over the years. Simply, "Cool Hand Luke" is my favorite movie. Combine a screenplay about a prison chain gang in the deep south, with Paul Newman playing the part of a sly, resourceful inmate bent on escape, and you have the ingredients of a masterpiece. By the way: Luke is incarcerated for cutting the tops off of parking meters. Why? You never quite find out!
Luke is a complex character who always seems to be in conflict with himself as well as all authority. He's certainly not a good role model, but everyone would want to be somewhat like him in a few ways. He earns the respect of his fellow inmates while conversely earning the enmity of the captain and the guards. "What we have here... is failure to communicate" is the classic line spoken by Newman's co-star Strother Martin in one of the most powerful scenes. That could very well be the theme of this movie.
"Cool Hand Luke" contains all of the ingredients of a fine film: good plot, conflict, drama, tragedy, and humor. The cast is one of the best ever assembled for this type of subject mattter. George Kennedy and Ralph Waite are other notable actors with prominent roles. For those concerned about mature content, it is pleasing to report that there is no foul language. There is violence but not graphic by today's standards.
I looked for this DVD in stores all around my area before finding it on Ebay. It will certainly be used often as I never tire of the superb acting and memorable scenes- a true movie classic. If you have not seen "Cool Hand Luke" I highly recommend it. Do you want to know if anyone can eat 50 boiled eggs in one hour? Buy the movie! James Lythgoe

Thos book is very scholarly
There are many self-help books on hypnosis but this title is for the serious student. It will take more than one read to learn the scholarly approach of the author- highly recommended.

Works well and has little oozing
I've tried the other brands and find that Effergrip works very well. It's not as pasty as others and therefore doesn't make the mouth as sticky. There's some oozing but that's to be expected. It takes a while to set, so I wouldn't advise eating for a while after application (maybe an hour). When it sticks, it really sticks- as good as any other. I only use zinc-free denture adhesive . Everyone has different experiences so I would advise trying one tube to see how it works. I am satisfied.
