===Filming=== ''Hud'' was shot over a four-week period in and around the [[Texas Panhandle]], using the town of [[Claude, Texas|Claude]] as a setting.{{sfn|Wishart, David|2004|p=270}}{{sfn|Shearer, Stephen|p=220|2006}} Location filming began on May 21, 1962, and was finished by the second week of June.{{sfn|Shearer, Stephen|p=222|2006}} Outdoor scenes were filmed at the Goodnight Ranch.{{sfn|American Legends staff|2008}} To avoid surpassing the shooting schedule due to weather conditions, the cast had to cancel two scenes originally planned for the location that featured people from Claude and [[Amarillo, Texas|Amarillo]].{{sfn|Ritt, Martin|Newman, Paul|Ravetch, Irving|1962|p=3}} The rest of the scenes were shot at the Paramount sound stages in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] beginning in the first week of July.{{sfn|Shearer, Stephen|p=222|2006}} The film was completed on August 1, 1962.{{sfn|Shearer, Stephen|p=222|2006}} The [[Pig wrestling|pig-scramble]] scene, written by dialect coach Bob Hinkle, replaced a softball game in Ravetch and Frank's script; Hinkle played the announcer in the scene.{{sfn|American Legends staff|2008}} For the filming of the cattle-slaughter scene, the [[The Humane Society of the United States|Humane Society]] was present to monitor the animals' treatment. The herd was sprayed with a substance to make it appear ill, and [[bungee cord]]s were tied to the cattle's legs.{{sfn|American Legends staff|2008}} Camera angles were arranged by Ritt and Howe to avoid showing the death of the cattle.{{sfn|Jackson, Carlton|1994|p=72}} When a man was shown shooting, the camera would switch to the cattle; the crew shook the cords, creating an effect of the herd being shot.{{sfn|American Legends staff|2008}} During location shooting, Newman and deWilde often changed hotel rooms due to female fans following them.{{sfn|Levy, Shawn|p=74|2010}} Elmer Bernstein used sparse arrangements for ''Hud''{{'}}s score;{{sfn|MacDonald, Laurence|p=214|2013}} in its theme, Bernstein "insinuated" natural sounds with "poignant strings on the guitar."{{sfn|Crowther, Bosley|1978|p=169}}{{sfn|New York Times staff|p=180|1971}} ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' called the theme "vital and noteworthy," "sombre, plaintive and foreboding."{{sfn|Tube.|1963|p=6}} [[John Ashley (actor)|John Ashley]] had a role, but it was mostly removed during the edit process.<ref name="vagg">{{cite magazine|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|url=https://diaboliquemagazine.com/the-nine-lives-of-john-ashley/url=https://diaboliquemagazine.com/the-nine-lives-of-john-ashley/|magazine=Diabolique Magazine|title=A Hell of a Life: The Nine Lives of John Ashley|date=December 2019}}{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> ''Hud''{{'}}s budget was $2.35 million, and Paramount executives were unhappy with the film. They felt it was too dark and were displeased by the black-and-white cinematography and Hud's lack of remorse and unchanged behavior.{{sfn|Levy, Shawn|p=74|2010}} Although [[Martin Rackin]] asked Ritt to change the film's ending, Newman and he decided to keep the original.{{sfn|Miller, Gabriel|2000|p=60}} After ''Hud'' was previewed, Paramount considered dropping the project, feeling that it was not "commercial enough," but Ritt flew to New York and convinced the executives to release the film unmodified.{{sfn|Baer, William|2003}} Advertising posters, with Newman in blue jeans in a "suggestive, full-length pose," read: "Paul Newman is 'Hud'! ... the man with the barbed-wire soul."{{sfn|Morella, Joe|1988|p=97}}
