When Howard Hughes was a child his father made a fortune by patenting a new cutting head for oil drilling. As an old man Hughes holed up in Las Vegas hotel and didn't wash. But it's the middle section of his life that's the foundation of Martin Scorsese's lavish bio-pic where we see the young Hughes become one of America's most famous men.... Nominated for 11 Oscars at the 2005 Academy Awards. * Please note: Martin Scorsese colour tinted some of his scenes to add authenticity to the era represented in the film and in keeping with Technicolor at that time. You may notice... a lack of the colour green in some scenes as well. This was done deliberately and is not a fault of your DVD. Thank you. [show more]
