Lyrical
an almost flawless act of sympathetic imagination
Jonathan Demme shows perhaps a finer understanding of lower-middle-class life than any other American director. Pauline Kael, The New Yorker A beautifully observed, beautifully performed offbeat comedy
the films delightful humor derives from the characters, who are affectionately observed but never patronized. Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide Directed by Jonathan Demme from a screenplay by Bo Goldman two of the great filmmakers of the 1970s and 80s Melvin and Howard (1980) tells the mostly true story of milkman Melvin Dummar (Paul Le Mat), who picks up a cranky, injured desert rat, gives him a ride, and discovers years later that the man may have been Howard Hughes (Jason Robards), who apparently has left Melvin millions in a disputed will. A shiningly affectionate look at striving, dreamy American life, also starring Mary Steenburgen and Pamela Reed.
