"For once, even Newman's famed charisma fails him, for in Cool Hand Luke he completely lacks the charm that, say, Al Capone in Scarecrow is capable of," said Lawrence J. Quirk in his biography of Newman."To be fair to Newman, he was trying his damnedest to play an impossible part, sinceluke is a convict's rationalization fantasy and never a real character", said Quirk.The film's depiction of prison life has been criticized by some authors.The influence of visual styles in depictions of the prison camp was criticized in a review of "Sheer Beauty in the Wrong Place".The landscape turned it into a rest camp where the men are getting plenty of sleep, food and exercise.There were worse ways to pay one's debt with society, despite the presence of the guards.Ron Clooney said that prisons were not the stuff of Cool Hand Luke movies.[52]
