   If everybody is telling the truth and the will is genuine, the hitchhiker was Howard Hughes. But Jonathan Demme’s wonderful new comedy “Melvin and Howard” doesn’t depend on whether the so-called Mormon Will was really written by Hughes. That hardly matters.

   Is Melvin & Howard a good movie?

   • Melvin and Howard has the same beautiful, dippy warmth as its characters. Affectionately good-humoured as much of the observation is... the film's eye is, if never savage, then sometimes at least moderately scathing. Robards is a chillingly effective Hughes. But this movie belongs to Paul Le Mat, as Dummar.

   Was 'Melvin and Howard' written by Howard Hughes?

   • If everybody is telling the truth and the will is genuine, the hitchhiker was Howard Hughes. But Jonathan Demme’s wonderful new comedy “Melvin and Howard” doesn’t depend on whether the so-called Mormon Will was really written by Hughes. That hardly matters. This is the story of a life lived at the other end of the financial ladder from Hughes.

   Who is Howard Hughes in 'Melvin'?

   • In the compelling opening segment, Melvin finds a disheveled and injured man on the side of the road who claims to be Howard Hughes (Jason Robards). After they go their separate ways, the film focuses solely on Melvin, a likable loser who has relationship troubles, employment problems and far too many dealings with repo companies.
