Yea, glad you mentioned it. I have heard that over and over. His aides having to rewind the 16mm film on the projector every time in his darkened hotel room.

I find the life of Howard Hughes fascinating. That is the only reason why I watched this movie.

Damn you Hughes, you tricked me! You tricked me good!
