PAUL NEWMAN?

I really believe in PAUL NEWMAN (1925-2008), born Paul Leonard Newman. In this day and political climate, one needs someone to believe in. He made many movies before '72, and many after.







Haven't you seen The Long Hot Summer (1958)?


Watch this and then see these other four films.



Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) Played Elizabeth Taylor's husband. The part made him look unkind, but just watching the two of them was a pleasure.
Cool Hand Luke (1967) Paul was a convict and a hard case. He wouldn't conform. He bet he could eat lots of hard boiled eggs and he won the bet.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) The story is about two down and out cowboys who thought they would be able to make a better life in Mexico, by stealing there. A sad ending, but what a treat to watch Paul Newman with Robert Redford.
Nobody's Fool (1994) Newman plays Sully Sullivan and Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith also star.
