This is my favourite film, ever, just beating Bullitt by a whisker, and Paul Newman is one of my favourite actors, Laurence Olivier is supposed to be the best ever, but his forte is theatre, for movies I believe Paul Newman and Steve McQueen are better in the format, in this case I am talking about Mr Newman, his portrayal as Luke is spot on, one of the best ever movie acting performances.
I should not need to say more, however the supporting cast & director were all great, Strother Martin and George Kennedy played it brilliantly, Stuart Rosenberg directed brilliantly, it was well photographed, all the scenes looked so real, I felt I was in the mid-south of USA for a while. the music was also great.
It was also a stylish film, I don't know if it was the period or what but for me most of the best stylish films in history came from the 60's, and they all had a kind of style, not all the same style but all done well, and this is the best.
It has always been and always will be one of the best movies ever.
