Auction History Result 7t0168 HUD Japanese 1963 different image Paul Newman as the man with the barbed wire soul! Date Sold 3/2/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned this poster only once before and it sold for $660! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few tiny dot stains along portions of the edges (more so near the upper and lower edges) but fortunately the tiny stains mostly only affect blank paper. It has an incredibly tiny tear at lower left that has been repaired with a tiny tape from the back. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and while it certainly could display well as is, after a pretty simple linenbacking (at which time the tiny stains could be removed chemically) the very rare poster will look great!
