Then Howard Hughes left him $156,000,000."; "A true story?"; based on the supposedly true story of Melvin Dummar, who met Howard Hughes in the desert, and Hughes gave him a handwritten will that reversed his regular will, and after Hughes' death, Dummar came forward with the handwritten will, and after a long court fight, it was thrown out; I have read much on this, and I think there is a very real possibility the will was valid!) starring Paul Le Mat (in the title role as Melvin Dummar), Jason Robards Jr. (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Howard Hughes), Mary Steenburgen (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Jack Kehoe, and Michael J.

Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 5 STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 5 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made no effort to find the best four stills in the lot, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills.

Condition: very good to fine.
