Tossup

One of these people complains about being called “boy” while laying at a campfire in a film that made James Baldwin question why a character would go back for his “white buddy.” The same year he made Scarface, Paul Muni played one of these people who causes a political (-5[1])crisis between Illinois and an unnamed Southern state. A magazine photo (15[1])of one of these people is superimposed on a closing shot of a crossroads. Two of these people played by Tony Curtis and (*) Sidney Poitier scream (10[1])at each other on the poster for The Defiant Ones. One of these people reacts to the death of his mother by playing “Plastic Jesus” on his banjo and eats 50 eggs on a bet. For 10 points, what sort of person is told “what we’ve got here is a failure to communicate” in Cool Hand Luke? ■END■ (10[1])
