sneak preview

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2004)

Saw this film last night at Loews, Cherry Hill, NJ. Up to the scene in which Howard and Kate go to visit her parents, the color of film was appalling. Everything was blue and rust, no green. In the scene with Errol Flynn and the peas lined up on the plate, they were little blue balls, why? Didn't Howard Hughes have dark eyes? Why, oh why wasn't the color of Leo's eyes changed to reflect this and make the portrayal more realistic? I found these little things very distracting, did I hear some say, "obessive compulsive? Thought his performance was outstanding but the film as a whole with all advance hep, the let me down, big time. Although a long film, time went fast.
