Paul Newman is alienated anti-hero Hud Bannon, rough, arrogant and confrontational, always at odds with his rancher father in Martin Ritt’s dramatic revisionist western Hud. Academy Award winner for Best Actress (Patricia Neal), Best Supporting Actor (Melvyn Douglas) and Best Black-and-White Cinematography plus nominations for Best Actor (Newman), Best Director, Best Screenplay & Best Art Direction.
“The four principal actors in Hud – Newman, Neal, Douglas, and de Wilde – are so good that they might well form the nucleus of a cinematic repertory company.” – Time Magazine
“Built around a huge performance by Newman, Hud is an immensely powerful character piece, intelligently written and visually striking throughout.” – Film4
