Maintaining both spirit and an uncanny resemblance to Howdy Doody throughout the play, Thomas Babe was quite charming as Helene's kissin' cousin, who is decidedly unhappy about the whole idea of her marriage and jumps excitedly at every opportunity to call...
...opposition between good and bad. Because it doesn't, it is good drama and a subtly disturbing social commentary. The film is set on a ranch in contemporary Texas, and it centers around the battle between Hud and his father Homer (Melvyn Douglas) for the allegiance of Hud's cousin (Brandon de Wilde). Homer's honesty is tied up with his idea of the dignity of work. His cynical son values money and physical pleasure.

...chemise family is a closely knit group. Fashion-conscious females who climbed out of the sack only a short while ago now find themselves climbing right back into the sack's first cousin, the shift. Already a slender trend as winter waned, the shift really switched into high with the summer solstice. On beaches from Maine to Malibu, lissome Loreleis clad in the latest two-piece bathing suits arranged themselves across the sand, apparently to ponder such girth-shaking questions as: How is a girl going to look her best when she isn't looking her barest? Thus...
