Paul Newman: Luck is an Art
"Newman is at his very best, and the cinematography is backing him up every step of the way. Must-see material."—Adam Smith, Empire
Hard-drinking, arrogant, womanizing Hud Bannon (Paul Newman) lives a self-centered, indolent life supported by his hard-working and morally upstanding father, Homer (Melvyn Douglas), on the family cattle ranch in Texas alongside Hud's teenage nephew, Lonnie (Brandon de Wilde), and the family housekeeper Alma (Patricia Neal). The family struggles with ongoing conflicts between principled patriarch Homer and his son, Hud, during an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease which puts the family's cattle ranch at risk.
One of several collaborations between Newman and Director Martin Ritt. This film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including nods for both Newman and Ritt. It went on to win three of those awards, Best Actress for Patricia Neal, Best Supporting Actor for Melvyn Douglas and Best Black and White Cinematography.
