A Different Approach
In the 1960s, many films continued to adopt the old-fashioned technique of placing the opening credits right at or near the beginning of the picture, which I found to be a little jarring at times. Aldrich, on the other hand, chose a different course of action. He jumped right into the action and didn’t display the credits until about 12 minutes into the film, which I thought was a great move on his part.

Only One Oscar Nomination
One actor was nominated for an Academy Award despite the film’s critical and commercial success as well as the star power of the cast as a whole. Cool Hand Luke actor George Kennedy defeated John Cassavetes in the Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor. Cassavetes was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but he did not win the award. Whatever the situation may be, we can all agree that the film is excellent!
