Amazon.com essential video:
Based on a Larry McMurtry novel, this Martin Ritt film was a testament to the sex appeal of the young Paul Newman. Playing the title character--a total rotter who, by the end of the film, has double-crossed or screwed over everyone he knows, including his hard-working father and brother--Newman turns him into an intriguing antihero. Things are tough on the ranch and Hud's dad (Melvyn Douglas) needs help, but Hud is too busy looking out for number one, even as things fall apart. And guess who's going to land on his feet? Beautiful black-and-white cinematography by James Wong Howe won an Oscar, as did performances by Douglas and Patricia Neal. --Marshall Fine

- Must-have for Paul Newman lovers
Hud is a little-known gem. We've always known about it because it was filmed in the little town where my granddad grew up. As a Paul Newman fan, I also recommend the film itself. As usual, Newman doesn't disappoint in this movie.

- WHERE'S THE BEEF?
The "beef' lies between Douglas' principles and his son's apparent lack thereof. But, the real stampede begins when the "old man" purchases some infected head, with disastrous results. DeWilde is effective,(10 years after yelling ("goodbye,Shane") as Douglas' grandson, torn between Hud's ideas and those of Douglas. But, Neal really stands out as housemaid, referee, nurse, and flirt. Only too late does she discover that her repressed sexuality is no match for Hud at his drunken worst.In the end, ... Read More

- Hod-head
Just can't go along with all the rave reviewers of this story, most of whom spell out its unpleasant details at great length. Everything about it may be as good and marvellous as they say, but in the end it's an intensely depressing, misery-making, simply feel-bad kind of film. Acting, writing, shooting are all excellent: but the characters and the theme are either deeply unhappy or repellent. There was an aura of corrosive cynicism and disillusion about many movies of this era, starting perhaps with ... Read More

- Hud
This is the movie that should have won Paul Newman the Oscar, but it was not to be. This is perhaps his most powerful performance, and the story is one of Larry McMurtry's best. The movie follows the book (called "Horseman Pass By") to the letter, and that is always good to see. I saw the movie when it first came out, and I had to have it for my collection to review over and over again.

- "My Mother Loved Me"
The most telling line in "Hud" is when Hud Bannon (Paul Newman) tells his father, Homer Bannon(Melvyn Douglas), that he had to be bad because his father was so good. Therein lies the paradox of "Hud". Do we empathize with the morally flawed Hud or with the overly pious Homer? Or do we just stand back and pity this unfortunate father-son relationship? Credit these two superb actors for creating complex characters that offer the audience no easy answers. Also excellent is Brandon De Wilde as Hud's ... Read More
