"For some men, the sky was the limit. For him, it was just the beginning."
Young
Hughes directs one of Scorsese's favorite films, Hell's Angels. Hughes
was so obsessed with perfection in the aerial sequences that he waits
forever for perfect conditions, right down to cloud formations. The
Aviator ends in 1946, when Hughes was still a dashing young man and
romancing actresses like Ava Gardner and Katharine Hepburn.
