Paul Newman stars as "Hud" a boozing, womanizing farmer who struggles through life with his demanding father. This tale, that takes place in rural Texas, is actually very likable. If you don't think it's possible to like a film of this genre, prepare to be surprised! This film, based on Larry McMurtry's novel, Horseman, Pass By, is generally considered a classic.
