One of America's best dramas which excels in every department from the brilliant cinematography of James Wong Howe to the staggering Elmer Bernstein score. Paul Newman is Hud, a man at odds with his father, tradition and himself. Hud's only interests are fighting, drinking, hot-rodding his Cadillac and womanizing. Melvyn Douglas is the father, an old line cattle rancher, and Oscar winner Patricia Neal is the understanding and appealing housekeeper. This realistic portrayal of a Texas panhandle family is based on Larry McMurty's novel Horseman, Pass By. Received three Academy Awards.
