In Reply to: Anyone remembers Hud? posted by Victor Khomenko on December 12, 2003 at 13:54:51:
for its spot on portrayal of small town life (the scenes of the movie audience actually singing along, the restaurants scenes, etc.). I thought Newnman did a great job playing a real prick. The contrats between him and Douglas is well done.Shot in black and white, too. There are very few wide screen films in B&W (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Turn of the Screw, and The Longest Day come to mind).
Follow Ups:
Hud is based on Larry McMurtry's first novel, "Horseman, Pass By" (McMurtry is also known for novels such as Lonesome Dove and the Last Picture Show). Archer City, which is the backdrop for the Oscar winning movie The Last Picture Show, which he also wrote, is the very small town where Larry graduated from High School back in the 1950's. Today, in addition to his novels, Larry co-owns the town's main thriving business: BOOKED UP (i.e., a chain of 5 or 6 bookstores). He can often be found managing the main bookstore, which are spread over two blocks and run on the honor system (i.e., you select your books and bring them over to the main store). This almost-ghost-town-out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere in North Texas has become a popular tourist attraction for readers and fans of McMurtry's books.Just a bit of trivia for Hud fans.
