Anecdotes
Tommy Lee Jones bagged the lead role playing Howard Hughes for US $25,000 when Warren Beatty turned down a US $1 million offer. Beatty later produced and starred in his own Howard Hughes biopic picture which was L'exception à la règle (2016).

Gaffes
What is supposed to be the Hughes XF-11 aircraft is actually a WWII P-38 fighter (however, this is understandable since the real XF-11 would have been unavailable for the movie).

Citations

The Quentinsessential Howard Hiufges

Tommy Lee Jones is the quintessential Howard Hughes,with mannerisms, voice,and he looks just like Howard Hughes (Check out old news reels) His acting puts the frosting on the cake. In the same regard Ed Flanders portrayal of Noah Dietrich, is right on the money as well. I also like the "Aviator" (2004) Martin Scorsese's ,interpretation is also great;but Tommy Lee Jones (for me) became Howard Hughes,through 1924-1976. This film deserves to be remastered for sound/video, but for now I'm quite satisfied with my DVD version of this 1977 Mini Series Classic!
