QuickView


Story-line: to Homer Bannon’s disappointment, his son Hud will never be the rancher he had hoped for.
Pluses: a compelling script, great acting (a special nod to Patricia Neal), solid direction.
Minuses: none whatsoever, unless you don’t like black and white films.
Comments: a must-see feature in which Paul Newman portrays a truly contemptible character. More than a modern-day Western, HUD plays like an American tragedy.
