Excellent review of this underrated film. Y...Tony:<br /><br />Excellent review of this underrated film. Yes, it's clear that Coppola identified with Preston Tucker, the eternal underdog (as he saw it), someone who needed to rock the boat to succeed.<br /><br />I've memorized that bit of dialogue about "catching one's dreams," as it's one of my favorites from any film. To be able to write something like that- wow!<br /><br />I also love the business about Howard Hughes, from Dean Stockwell's subtle performance to the marvelously eerie sets where Hughes conducts his business. His dialogue is purposely confusing, as if to suggest his mental condition as being slightly over the edge.<br /><br />And how beautiful is the courtroom sequence shot and lit by Vittorio Storaro?tom hylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059595835440742055noreply@blogger.com
