I'm not sure that hook is entirely accurate. I might supply an alt after a re-reading of some of the sources. Gatoclass (talk) 03:31, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Apologies for the delay in getting back to this one, it slipped off the radar. Re-reading the source confirms my view that the hook is somewhat inaccurate. I will supply an alt hook shortly. Gatoclass (talk) 14:49, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that although Paul Newman and director Martin Ritt conceived the eponymous lead of Hud as morally repugnant, they were astonished to find young audiences warming to the character? Gatoclass (talk) 14:55, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed now that a new hook has been supplied. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:15, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

On reflection, the article itself also needs a little work, and I'm not sure I will have time to complete it tonight, so I'm placing this on temporary hold once again. There isn't much to fix, so it shouldn't take too long to relist for review from this point - again, my apologies for the inconvenience. Gatoclass (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

No problem there, I been busy myself lately. I'll come back tomorrow to provide a new hook in case that one doesn't make the cut.GDuwenTell me! 21:30, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found. QPQ done and image properly licensed. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 22:16, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

I have already stated that both the hook and article need work. I have also stated my intention to rectify the outstanding issues in the coming week. This nomination is not ready for promotion yet. Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 07:26, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

The last edit to this page before my edit was over three weeks ago. Where did you say that?--Laun chba ller 08:00, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

You are correct that I probably should have updated this page - my apologies. The conversation in question was held on my talk page. Gatoclass (talk) 08:04, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I see no reason why this should have waited so long so I will review this and I have fixed the link in the hook. Date for GA status fine. AGF on offline hook which is in the article and sourced to offline source. Length certainly not a problem. Image licence checks out OK, though I think an image of Hud on his own would be better.
