Item description

Brand new factory sealed dvd of the Anchor Bay version which is no longer being manufactured. Shrinkwrap has a few light scrapes on it (see photo). Jason Robards is a chillingly effective Howard Hughes. But this movie belongs to Paul Le Mat, as Melvin Dummar. He is pleasant, genial, simple of speech, crafty of mind, always looking for an angle. He angles for Milkman of the Month, he plots to get his wife on a TV game show, he writes songs like "Santa's Souped-Up Sleigh", he plays the slots at Vegas and goes through his life asking only for a few scores. When he gets a big score--named the beneficiary of a $156 million will that seems to have been signed by Hughes--he hardly knows what to do. Long-lost relatives and new-found friends turn up by the dozens, and press conferences are held in front of his gas station. There is a court trial, but the movie never really addresses itself to the details of the Hughes will court case. It goes instead for the drama and for the effect on Dummar and his family. Mary Steenburgen ('Back to the Future 3') won both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
