REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 25-Apr-2006)

Melvin and Howard filmed in Utah 1980. I was there, my husband played crowd control, and 2 of my children actually appear briefly in the movie...being there as it was filmed, and then seeing it on the screen at the drive-in movies...I can say that this was a well done movie considering the circumstances surrounding it. Is it true, yes it is, however, Melvin was not the brightest bulb on the tree, he was offered money to not claim this will, but refused, which cause alot of the unbelief that followed. He was a simple man that I spoke to on numerous occasions, because he was a singer in Ogden, just like my husband. It is unfortunate that he did not get what was rightfully his, for a really helping Howard Hughes get to Vegas
