And I thought I despised DeCaprio.He was excellent in this as were Kate Blanchette as Katherine Hepburn and the actress who played Ava Gardner. Also excellent were the actors playing his engineer chief and his CEO.
Lots of great cameos in this one. Baldwin, Ian Holm, Alan Alda, etal.
A sympathetic portrait of Howard Hughes. An adventure/bio story with depth and pathos.
Some excellent special effects with the planes.
