註釋
Where others saw obstacles, Hughes saw opportunity. A daredevil, he risked his fortune, and life, on experimental airplanes that set new records in speed and size. Hughes need only his small-minded rivals, with their limited imaginations, telling him what was impossible, to climb into the cockpit and prove them wrong. He was also a playboy, linked romantically to the brightest starlets of hi time—Katherine Hepburn, Ava Gardener—but happiness was more elusive than actresses. Hughes was tortured by a secret that tore him from those who loved him. He was haunted by an affliction he fought desperately to conceal. THE AVIATOR ranges from the halls of Congress to the tony estates of Connecticut to the glamorous studios of Hollywood. Here, plot and poetry blend in one of the most beautifully written biopic in modern cinema.
