Luke's story is paralleled in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) which is unmistakably grim in tone. That is why I think Cool Hand Luke marks a transition in the rebellious loner movie. After Luke we get characters like Randle Patrick McMurphy in Cuckoo's Nest and the doomed protagonists of Easy Rider (1969). Why is that I wonder? Cool Hand Luke preceded the "summer of love" by one year and Altamont by two
