I never saw this weekend's movie flashback from 1980, but it looks interesting. It stars Jason Robards, Paul Le Mat, and Mary Steenburgen, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in this movie. The screenplay was inspired by real-life Utah service station owner Melvin Dummar, who was listed as the beneficiary of $156 million in a will allegedly handwritten by Howard Hughes that was discovered in the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City. Here is "Melvin and Howard"...
