I too was all so excited to see this on dvd and bought it without reading any reviews.I did not think I needed to because I saw the movie twice on TV and thought it was excellent . I told my girlfriend all about it and we sat down to watch it and I kept saying all throughout the movie "Hey,they left something out" over and over again. I live in Shreveport Louisiana and I was real let down when they left that part out when he showed up here and wound up in jail.I bet ya'll would like to know more about that.Well I guess you will have to see the movie.BUT NOT THIS VERSION.THEY CUT OUT WAAAAY TOO MUCH!!!!

My dad asked for this, and of course, I bought it. I did not hesitate buying this version of Howard Hughes life (starring Tommy Lee Jones), due to the fact that I saw it aire on tv quite some time ago and loved it. It is extremely interesting, NEVER boring, great acting, and one of the most factual accounts of Howard Hughes that I've ever watched. Excellent film, great price, fast shipping. March 28, 2007

I expected to see more of the genius and contributions to aviation but this focuses less on his rise and more on his disfunction and fall. I thought It was a well done period piece. Just not my taste In movies. January 6, 2007

I taped the broadcast version on VHS years ago and purchased it when it was released on commercial cassette. I finally got the DVD version checked and I am totally disgusted. They probably cut the VHS version to hold it to 2 hours but there is no reason to short change us on the DVD. Some of the missing parts were critical to seeing Howard lose his marbles over time. I wish TNT would run it again and this time I would put it on DVD myself. July 18, 2006

THIS IS A GOOD STORY THAT LEAVES SOME PARTS OUT. I GUESS THEY COULDN'T PUT IT ON THE DVD. EVERYONE CAN ACT AND THE STORY IS FINE. IT'S JUST SAD TO BE REMINDED OF A MAN IN HUGHES GO MAD AND LOSE HIS LIFE THROUGH SICKNESS AND DRUGS. IT IS A REMINDER THAT MONEY HELPS AND IS A TOOL THAT IS NEEDED TO SURVIVE, BUT IT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT WON'T BRING HAPPINESS. March 10, 2006
