The actresses

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2006)

For someone who has been watching and watching again Katherine Hepburn's and Ava Gardner's movies for years ,this movie does not make it.It's impossible to believe that the two actresses are "Sylvia Scarlet" or "Pandora" .Howard Hughes's face is much less familiar so Di Caprio ,whose performance is quite good ,is not such a problem.I have nothing against Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale ,but the fact that they do not look their parts gets in the way.Maybe the younger generations does not have the same problem .
All that remains is quite satisfying and the male cast ,including Ian Holm ,a suave mischievous Alec Baldwin and William Dafoe whose appearance does not exceed 5 minutes ,is uniformly good.Excellent use of "the outlaw" excerpts.
