THE AMAZING HOWARD HUGHES

year: 1977
cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Ed Flanders, Lee Purcell
rating: **1/2

Okay so this was edited from a longer version and comes off as a greatest hits of Howard Hughes. The story merely glosses through different aspects of his life without much detail. Tommy Lee Jones was good... but at the end you're not sure what made him driven, or crazy, in the first place.
