• The Black & White Nights Film Series will show the Oscar winning film “Hud” at 7 pm at the Cavendish Elementary School in Proctorsville. In 1963 Paul Newman was cast as an angry young rancher and won an Oscar nomination for his smoldering portrayal of Hud Bannon, modern-day cowboy. In “Hud” we see Newman dig deep to play the cocky young man at odds with his father, a law-abiding cattleman played by Melvyn Douglas. Hud is cocky, hard-drinking and arrogant, a handsome womanizer who drives a pink Cadillac convertible. One of his famous lines in the film is, “The only question I ever ask any woman is, What time is your husband coming home?” The age old conflict between a selfish son and an unyielding father plays out dramatically in this film set in the dry hills of Texas ranch country. It is one of Newman’s most memorable roles.
