Citizen Caine

A gritty Texas-set drama containing Paul Newman's allegedly finest performance on film. Whilst he was certainly excellent, I prefer him in roles like Butch Cassidy or Henry Gondorff in The Sting. The rest of the cast are superb, especially Melvyn Douglas and Patricia Neal. Even though the film is named after Newman's character, I feel the main focus of the film is Brandon De Wilde's character, Lon... read more

(OK) One of the best Ritt. Scope, wasteland, men and cattle, a disfunctional home (the hate between Newman and dad Melvyn is biblical), Patricia Neal is an excellent bonus, De Wilde is more than ok, and the killing of the cattle is superb...

Hud Bannon is a ruthless young man who tarnishes everything and everyone he touches. Hud represents the perfect embodiment of alienated youth, out for kicks with no regard for the consequences. There is bitter conflict between the callous Hud and his stern and highly principled father, Homer. Hud's nephew Lon admires Hud's cheating ways, though he soon becomes aware of Hud's reckless amorality to bear him anymore. In the world of the takers and the taken, Hud is a winner. He's a cheat, but, he explains "I always say the law was meant to be interpreted in a lenient manner."

Slant's 100 Best Westerns of All Time (100 movies items)

"At the core of Martin Ritt’s elegiac Hud is the thorny generational conflict between Paul Newman’s eponymous antihero—a tortured soul not unlike James Dean’s Jim from Rebel Without a Cause—and his cold, highly principled rancher father, Homer (Melvyn Douglas). Gripped by a sense of unspoken grief since the accidental death of Hud’s brother, father and son repeatedly lock horns over Hud’s boozing, philandering, and general devil-may-care attitude. A clash of ideologies during rapidl"
