Melvin und Howard (1980)
Melvin Dummar ist ein freundlicher Zeitgenosse, der in seinem Leben aber nicht viel Glück hatte. Obwohl er immer gut gelaunt ist, schafft er es nicht, einen Job über einen längeren Zeitraum zu behalten. Eines Tages hilft er einem Mann, der mit dem Motorad in der Wüste liegengeblieben ist. Als dieser behauptet, der berühmte Howard Hughes zu sein, glaubt Melvin dies nicht, doch nach dem Tod Hughes bekommt er unerwartet Post von einem Anwalt, in dem es heißt, daß er ein nicht unwesentliches Grundstück aus der Erbmasse des Verstorbenen bekommen soll.
Der Regisseur: Jonathan Demme
