Yey!! Good for y'all. Yeah, it was the warden, only he was called "captain" in the movie, and he was played by Strother Martin, who made a marvelous villain.

My husband knows I love "Cool Hand Luke." He often says things like, "Stretchin it out here, boss," when he's about to take a nap, or "Eatin it up here, boss," when he's about to chow down.
