In today’s episode of Gary Talks Physical Media, Gary takes an in-depth look at Flicker Alley’s Howard Hughes in Hollywood, Vol. 1, a new physical media collection exploring the fascinating early filmmaking career of one of the most famous, ambitious and controversial figures in Hollywood history. Long before Howard Hughes became known for aviation, enormous wealth, eccentric behavior and his increasingly reclusive later years, he was a major force in Hollywood. As an independent producer, Hughes poured his money and considerable ambition into filmmaking, backing productions that helped establish his reputation as someone willing to challenge both convention and the Hollywood establishment. Howard Hughes in Hollywood, Vol. 1 turns the clock back to that earlier chapter of Hughes’ extraordinary life, using beautifully restored films and archival material to explore his emergence as a movie producer during the formative years of Hollywood. Gary dives into the collection and the two films at its center, Two Arabian Knights and The Racket, examining the movies themselves, their place in Hollywood history and what they reveal about Hughes as a young producer determined to make his mark on the motion picture business. Gary also takes a close look at Flicker Alley’s presentation of the collection, including the film restorations and picture quality, audio presentation, supplemental material, packaging and the historical context provided for physical media collectors and classic-film fans. How well do these nearly century-old films hold up today? What do they tell us about the early career of Howard Hughes before aviation and scandal came to dominate his public image? And has Flicker Alley created a collection worth owning for fans of classic Hollywood and film preservation?
