Hud (1963)

All right. Hold on to your hat. This movie proves that James Dean or Marlon Brando couldn’t hold a candle to bad boy Paul Newman when it came to portraying alienated rebellious youth against the establishment.

Pros: Paul Newman, script, direction.
Cons: Slow, not a lot of "action" or "plot", somber ending.

When some people grow up, they never really grow up. That’s the case with Paul Newman’s character in Hud; his character is thirty-years old, but is far more interested in screwing around with married women and making life miserable for his ...

Pros: Acting, script, cinematography, good story about contrasting principles.
Cons: None

When this movie was first released in 1963, I was too young to be able to appreciate the story of three men living on a Texas ranch and the contrasts between right and wrong, and how principles and virtue can often skip generations. Thanks to regular...

Cons: Black and white looses detail on the screen.

Pros: cast, script, story

Legendary western writer Larry McMurty
("Lonesome Dove", "The Last Picture Show",
"Terms of Endearment") was still in his
twenties when his novel "Hud" was turned
into a major motion picture....

Pros: Acting, screenplay, directing, cinematography
Cons: Slowly paced

Hud Bannon embodies the antihero, and Paul Newman expertly brings him to life in this classic character study directed by Martin Ritt. He seems larger than life in the film - a multi-dimensional character that you don't know whether to pull for or ...
