The Man Who Won’t Be Broken

Directed by Andrew Loudon (Little Women, Anne of Green Gables and Carrie’s War) Cool Hand Luke is the raw, uncompromising tale of a Second World War veteran who is sent to prison for a drunken misdemeanour and toughs it out despite the best efforts of the guards and fellow prisoners to break his spirit. Marc Warren is the man who always plays it cool in the role made famous on screen by the late Paul Newman.
