Melvin and Howard is a 1980 biographical comedy-drama directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Bo Goldman. The film follows Melvin Dummar, a Nevada gas station attendant whose life takes an unexpected turn when he picks up a mysterious hitchhiker claiming to be the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. When Melvin later receives a letter naming him as an heir to Hughes’s vast fortune, he must navigate the skepticism of his wife Lynda, his friends, and estate lawyers who doubt his incredible claim. Starring Paul Le Mat, Jason Robards, Mary Steenburgen, Dabney Coleman, and Gloria Grahame, the film blends humor and heart as it explores themes of luck, ambition, and the complications that sudden wealth can bring to an ordinary life.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Universal Pictures with a runtime of one hour and thirty-five minutes and an R rating. The disc includes the theatrical trailer as bonus content. Own this quirky slice-of-life satire on physical media at a used price.
