The film features knockout acting from all the lead and supporting cast members. Patricia Neal stole the show with a humble performance. No mental breakdown, fancy costumes, and makeup, or dramatic monologues, just a world-weary woman who had seen the worst of men. Love it.
Yeah it's a fantastic film. Every bit as Great as Casblanca ,From Here To Eternity, On The Waterfront, High Noon other classics that always get mentioned. I haven't seen it in 25 years and there is one line in there by Melvyn Douglas( Homer Bannon) that is so powerful and prophetic, paraphrasing, Gradually the Landscape of the Country changes by the Men we admire. Something to that effect, and Boy isn't that the truth?
Great scene, acting masterclass, sexy without talking off a stitch, a little cat and mouse game between the pursuer and someone who's been around the block. Kind of like the little face off between Fred McMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in Double Imdemity. Sexual tension.
I've read where Paul Newman attempted to create a character in Hud that was vile and lacked any integrity or morals. One that would repulse people due to his lack of honesty and wholesome values. However, Newman's charisma and charm had the opposite effect on the young kids of the early 1960s. The teenagers actually admired Hud and tried to emulate him. In their eyes, Hud became the Hero and not an anti-hero. But, this was never Paul Newman's intention.
To me this was a star making role. If you find yourself rooting for HUD at any point, it's purely because of his charm, because he's not a good man AT ALL. Most actors can't pull that off. Some can play a great, compelling villain, but not the kind that can seduce the audience.
In fact, this just portrays how young people of that time were without character or idiots too much. I'm a fan of Paul Newman and when I watched this movie I was repulsed by this character.
Remember seeing Hud as a ten year old in 1966 on Dutch tv and always thought of this beautiful and intense scene. I felt heartbroken when she left the family. No happy end!
@@mselim123 he tried to rape her in the end. Lonnie had to pull him off her. Forcing her...and Lonnie to leave the household. She told him it would have happened sooner or later. Count Hud as one of the most stupid men ever put on film.
Hud was a fucc boi, plain and simple. Beautiful and charming, but that aspect of himself was entirely undone by his anger and sense of entitlement. In his mind, if he wanted something enough he was entitled to fight for it, whether it was money, the farm, or women. He couldn't stand Alma holding out on him, he didn't have it in him to be a little more patient and tender. You can't do anything with a man like that except watch them destroy everything around them.
What a great scene. Sadly, Hud's character would've benefited by having Alma as his lifelong partner. I love the character of Alma. Had some tough times which made her wary, but she was still honest and warm. And beautiful.
@@herbayum76 yeah, sexy even in a housedress. It's that knowing attitude that made Alma sexy. Plus, Patricia Neal is a damn good looking woman, A woman, not some artificial "Barbie doll", a real woman.
Hard to believe that this is the same actress who played the aging brittle married woman who kept George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany's. What a refreshing change!
nope. you are confused. The "shave nights, shower morning" (or visa versa) line is from the film "Hud". Paul says it to Patricia. "You still got that itch?" is shown above (also from Hud. @@donaldsaigh8785
no donald - the "I shower nights, shave mornings" (or visa versa) line was in "Hud". As I remember in the same scene featured (above). Why would Paul say that line to Anthony, in Long Hot Summer? @@donaldsaigh8785
I remember HUD a tuff guy like I am! On the road to Norway there is a place named HUD. There is a wiking story there was a tuff girl named Queen of HUD and a hard man wanted to get here against her will but a dark night she went to his house with some menand burned it. They burned him alive. This story is still living in the area.
Stupenda pellicola, non è chissà che cosa ma comunque piacevole, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che quando Hudo e Lonnie corrono via dalla casa di Scanlan sulla Cadillac di Hudo, le gomme stridono e sibilano per tutta la strada, ma la strada non ha marciapiede, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
Ryan Gosling doesn't even have great features...Paul Newman had almost perfect male features. I don't know why anyone would even compare the two? Ryan Gosling is one of those people who doesn't have real great features, but combined, they somehow work together to make him look "attractive." Paul Newman on the other hand, had features that were perfection.

This was a great movie with outstanding performances by Paul Newman and Patricia Neal .She won an Oscar for it
Her best line isn't in this scene, though.
I watched this movie years ago on cable. Paul Newman should have won the Oscar. It is a gritty, dark performance....
It's ridiculous how many times he was slept on by the Academy. I too love this nuanced performance
Love this scene.... sexy with out being trashy, pure genius.
he's a rapist
"Don't go shooting all the dogs, just because one of us got fleas"
Well the majority of the dogs have fleas but the wives are often very quiet about it.
Fleas don't hop on just the male of the species.
Jack Meoff It's 'one of 'em'
Hud definitely had fleas
Yeah but Hud was a total asshole himself in this movie.
This is great acting and great writing. They are sizing each other up, and the tension is sizzling. Sad movie, ultimately.

Sadly true. Many of the young men in the 60's, especially the radical anti war ones became rapists and bragged about it.
“I’ll remember ya honey.... you’re the one that got away...”
"...when I tried to rape you"
Man the sexual tension in this scene is just infectious.

Sausage and eggs.
I would have said "Yeah..still got it now put down that flower and come thee hither!" Paul's smile just kills me!

Great comment, for me Patricia Neal looked at her utmost best in this movie just because of all the reasons you mention.

Priceless! Lol
So many great lines in this scene! 'What else you good at?' And those piercing Blue Eyes! DaYUM! Paul was just so darn HOT in this film!!
In Breakfast at Tiffany's two years earlier, Patricia O'Neal had played a rich NYC sophisticate.
Hard to believe that this is the same actress who played the aging brittle married woman who kept George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany's. What a refreshing change!
I just realised too. She's dazzling
And a radio journalist in A face in the crowd 4 years prior to Tiffany
@@randywhite3947 love her in ‘a face in the crowd’
wow the dialogue is sharp like a knife!
In the original book, the Patricia Neal character was black.
love them both. they are tough.
a perfect scene among the many in this masterpiece film
Along with "A Fistful of Dollars" one of the best movies ever made.
Once Upon A Time in the West. 👍
Hud was a beautiful stinker! Rip Paul Newman, you made me swoon!
Alma chewed Hud UP in this scene: seemingly “entertaining” his advances while actually keeping him at an arm’s length 😂🚫
But her eyes weren't keeping him at arm's length
“Taking care of myself” as she inhales another cigarette.
This is the real deal Neal. A Kentucky girl going back to her earthy down home roots.
That lit my fire look she gave Hud probably won her the Oscar. I don't think it was all acting either. The man could turn the women on.
My legs would be wide open fr
The silence at the end of the scene say's it all.
Wow. What a scene.
Patricia Neal? Spectacular! The most understated performance--great acting without "acting."
Paul Newman gorgeous and Pat Neal gorgeous.
smoking was very common back then
For a moment there I thought she was going to slap his face.
Love it. Looking for the scene where Paul says to Patricia " I shower nights, shave mornings" (or via versa).
You're thinking of 'The Long Hot Summer'. Paul says it to Anthony Franciosa's character.
nope. you are confused. The "shave nights, shower morning" (or visa versa) line is from the film "Hud". Paul says it to Patricia. "You still got that itch?" is shown above (also from Hud. @@donaldsaigh8785

Best scene in the movie!
A real man 😅
Patricia Neal WAS fabulous.

you should scratch it!
and win the Jewish lottery system.
They need to re-make this movie with Matthew McConaughley
Hell no
Oh please no.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
No😊
Lol
ATTN ladies.... is Ryan Gosling better looking than young Paul Newman?
🙄
Umm...no.
Totally not. Ryan Gosling seems like a nice person and all and he can certainly act but there's no comparison imo
