   May 9, 2017 · Melvin and Howard review: dreams that money can’t buy. An estimable late entry in the new American cinema of the 1970s, Jonathan Demme’s riff on the working man who claimed an unlikely bequest from Howard Hughes combines wit and warmth with a gently caustic look at American dreams and delusions. In tribute to the late Jonathan Demme.

   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.
