What we have here is a failure to resuscitate

(Kudos to Greg)

My heroes have always been dead guys

Stuart Rosenberg, best remembered as the director of Cool Hand Luke, has died at the age of 79. Most of his best films capitalized on anti-authoritarian themes, most notably in Newman’s inmate who had a failure to communicate with Strother Martin, as well as The Laughing Policeman, Brubaker and The Pope of Greenwich Village. Other films included The Drowning Pool, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys, his last film, and his most financially successful film, The Amityville Horror. Rosenberg also directed several episodes of The Twilight Zone, including the classic I Shot an Arrow Into the Air, where after a crash landing an astronaut kills two crewmates because he fears they don’t have enough food and water only to find out he has crashed in Arizona.
