HUD (1963)

The man with the barbed-wire soul.

Nominated for seven Academy Awards (and winning three), Hud stars Paul Newman as the titular bad-boy cowboy, directed by the legendary Martin Ritt (The Molly Maguires).

Hud Bannon, a young Texas rancher who lives with his cattleman father and his hero-worshipping nephew, is an amoral, cold-hearted creature. When hoof-and-mouth disease shows up in one of the elder Bannon’s cows, the rebellious Hud and his respectable father find themselves at odds with each other.

Filmed on location in Texas, actors Patricia Neal (Breakfast At Tiffany’s) and Melvyn Douglas (I Never Sang For My Father) both won Oscars for their performances.

Acclaimed by critics and audiences alike on release, Hud is a must-see Western, packed with conflict and startling cinematography.
