The center of the story, occupied by the loony billionaire Hughes, is pretty weird at best. The main focus is on a young man named Frank and a girl named Marla, both of whom have come into the Hughes orbit in pursuit of their dreamss, which are success in real estate for Frank, and Hollywood stardom for Marla. They are hot for each other but unable to consummate things because of various obstacles, like Hughes's rules. This is an attempt at some classic Hollywood, and to some extent it works - the cruising down the boulevard scenes really make it look like it is 1962 - but both the leads are lacking in charisma and some sections drag.

The cinematography is pleasing to look at, but that's about the only redeemable quality of the film. The story is a jumbled mess that doesn't really seem to have much purpose, and as it progresses, it slowly ruins all the characters and makes you root against them, instead of for them. And the conclusion/resolution of all the loose ends just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. What was the point of this movie? I have yet to find out. Expand
