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 too 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."

The film might be called 'Hud' but the most interesting character is Lonnie, a young man trying to make sense of the world through the wisdom of two generations of people. Wilde gives the better performance too, I feel, as Newman seems to overact in some of his scenes as the reckless uncle. Tragically, Wilde died at a very young age, another actor with great promise taken too soon.

Great movie starring Paul Newman as HUD, a rough and callous alcoholic who is admitted by his young nephew. This story is one of tragedy and deceit and all those who suffer at the hands of HUD. Great classic movie

Study of a creep.
I don't want to be a spoiler, but that's what the movie is. And it's done in a very flowing way. We have four main characters, although the woman, played by Patricia Neal, soon leaves.
The others are Hud, played by Paul Newman, his father, played by Melvyn Douglas, and his nephew More
