Hud

Dir. Martin Ritt. 1963, 112 mins. 35mm. With Paul Newman, Patricia Neal, Melvyn Douglas. Working with Martin Ritt, one of his favorite directors (Paris Blues; The Long, Hot Summer), Newman plays a hell-raising cowboy with a pink Cadillac who doesn’t get along with his moralistic rancher father (Douglas). Patricia Neal, as the housekeeper whose beauty tempts Hud even as she refuses his ungentlemanly advances, Douglas, and cinematographer James Wong Howe all won Oscars for their work on the film, which remains perhaps Newman’s greatest and most psychologically complex movie of the 1960s.
