Description

Triple bill of films starring Paul Newman. In 'Hud' (1963) Newman plays the title role as a hard-drinking, 'no account' son of old style, moralising ranch owner Homer (Melvyn Douglas). Hud and Homer's relationship comes to a head when the government demands the slaughter of the family's complete cattlestock in order to prevent the spread of Foot and Mouth disease. Hud wants to act in defiance of the order, whereas Homer prefers to play the game and obey the government, despite the possibility of losing everything. 'Shadow Makers' (1989) explores the wartime race between America and Germany to develop the atomic bomb. Under the guidance of General Groves (Newman) the American military continue their efforts to formulate the bomb, despite discovering that the enemy isn't working on a project such as theirs. J.Robert Oppenheimer (Dwight Shultz) is the genius working on the project who is torn between scientific objectivity and ethics. Their conflicts are representative of the double-edged situation which the authorities are in; the fear that the enemy will get there first and the horror at the consequences should one of these bombs go off. Finally, in 'Twilight' (1998) Harry Ross (Newman) is a private eye whose best days seem to be behind him. Lodging with a dying actor (Gene Hackman) and his wife (Susan Sarandon), he agrees to adminster a blackmail money handover. This, however, unsettles the ghosts of a 20-year-old mystery involving the disappearance of the wife's ex-husband.
