It’s true. (I hated it)
And yet I have apparently committed the ultimate shame! I have misquoted a classic film or at least mis-attributed the quote.
I have been informed by numerous emails that it was NOT Paul Newman who uttered that famous line, but Strother Martin – which actually was a bit in my recollection of the film, but I went with a crummy internet search I did.
Boy, you guys, I don’t hear this much from you about FDA stuff, but get a quote wrong, and EVERYONE emails me!
We should all get together for an Oscar party!
No posting today because I was at a meeting all day long in Maryland.
I stand corrected, though you have to admit, it was a Cool post!
Both said “What we have here is a failure to communicate.” Paul Newman, as Luke, made the quote at the end of the movie, just before he was shot,… I think to just get on the nerve of the warden who made the quote earlier in the movie. The warden made the quote mid-story, at a scene where he was trying to teach Newman a lesson.
