WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1950s Hollywood, chauffeur Frank (Ehrenreich) is assigned to studio contract actress Marla (Collins), and despite strict rules against romancing clients, the two soon fall in love. However, their relationship is tested upon a chance encounter with the elusive and legendary Howard Hughes (Beatty)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Part sweeping Hollywood romance, part Howard Hughes biopic, Warren Beatty’s passion project aims to bring back the old-fashioned epic that they really don’t make like they used to anymore.
