My mother once literally bumped elbows with Paul Newman (this was at a crowded Quincy Market in Boston) One look at his blue eyes and she practically swooned. And my mother was never a big movie fan.
Ahh, if I were young and he was young (well Cool Hand Luke 1967 era) I was seeing those blue eyes, yes, I sure would have swooned as well......
But I watched it with my father when I was very young, and I remember asking him why Luke cut the tops off of the parking meters. Looking back I think it was a hard question to field from an 8 year old.
Passing the time...
Alas not constructive use of time, but I think 2 years hard labour in a roadside prison is a bit of a harsh punishment!!! These days,you'd probably get an "ASBO" (substitute whatever fits in whatever country)
