An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Hud, the classic 1963 Martin Ritt (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Texas family relationship modern-day-cowboy cattle rancher melodrama ("Paul Newman is 'HUD'! The man with the barbed wire soul!"; "Why 'Hud'?"; "Because of the unusual nature of this film we will not reveal the story"; "From a novel by Larry McMurtry"; about one of the screen's all time greatest heels, Hud Bannon, superlatively played by Paul Newman who was robbed of an Oscar) starring Paul Newman (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Hud), Melvyn Douglas (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Patricia Neal (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Brandon DeWilde, and Whit Bissell. Note that this movie was originally titled "Hud Bannon", but the title was shortened to simply "Hud". Paramount was worried about how the movie would do, especially because its central character was such an unlikable person, and they created a VERY unusual ad campaign, starting with a 24-sheet that solely showed an image of Newman in a small part of it, with the words "Why Hud?", and much of the 24-sheet blank. They wanted to create a mystery as to what the movie was about, in the hopes that people would not have preconceived notions and go see it, feeling that once they did, they would recognize what a quality movie it was, and this marketing strategy obviously worked, because the movie was very successful!

The poster had a snipe glued to the middle right white background area, and it was removed, causing small paper loss in the corners. It had another one in the top left corner, in the white background area. It had some small paper loss at the crossfolds and some wear on the foldlines, with some pinholes and tears around the edges and smudges in the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
