Looking at Jonathan Demme's movies it's amazing how many of his early ones flopped - Crazy Mama, Fighting Mad, Citizens Band, Last Embrace and this. He kept getting chances because of strong reviews - this won a couple of Oscars.
It's a true life tale of an odd chap, played by Paul Le Mat, during that actor's star years, who gives Howard Hughes a lift and later inherits a fortune. That's the beginning and end. Most of the movie is Le Mat and wife Mary Steenburgen and him marrying Pamela Reed.
It's nicely made and acted and everything. I just didn't care. Sorry. Maybe I saw it in a bad mood.
