   The genius of “Melvin and Howard” is that it is about Melvin, not Howard. The film begins and ends with scenes involving the Hughes character, who is played by Jason Robards as a desert rat with fading memories of happiness.

   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.
