Customer Reviews for Cool Hand Luke Cd
Plastic Jesus
Rating:
Paul Newman's original version of Plastic Jesus is not on this CD. This CD is re-recorded instrumental versions of the songs from the film. Thoroughly disappointing.
Editorial Reviews for Cool Hand Luke Audio Cd
Amazon.com
With an iconic, Academy Award®-nominated lead performance by Paul Newman as the free spirit who refuses to be broken by cruel Southern justice, director Stuart Rosenberg's Cool Hand Luke has rightly taken its place as a modern American classic. One of the key elements to the film's deft balance of drama and humor is also its most unlikely: the Oscar®-nominated score of Argentine-born composer Lalo Schifrin. As he's done throughout a career that's moved gracefully between jazz recordings, classical podiums, and scoring stages, Schifrin's music fuses seemingly disparate genres--bluegrass, symphonic, rhythmic jazz--into a soundtrack that evokes them all yet becomes distinctly more than the sum of its parts. Given that gratifying sensibility, it's a soundtrack full of surprising twists and turns, crackling with energy. Such is its dynamic nature that one reedited cut ("Tar Sequence") has taken on a second life as the ubiquitous "Eyewitness News" theme music at local TV stations across America. --Jerry McCulley
