After The Aviator piqued my interest in Hollywood playboy, aviation innovator, and well-known phobic recluse Howard Hughes, I went out in search of something that would fill in the rest of the story. The painfully long Hollywood feature just didn’t satisfy my curiosity—but, fortunately, I found something that did.

Howard Hughes: The Man and the Madness is a recently released documentary that tells the true story behind The Aviator. From his childhood in Texas, where his overprotective mother may have triggers his germ phobias, to the fears and addiction that lead to his death in 1976, this film tells the whole story of Howard Hughes—a story that was only partially covered in the recent biopic. In fact, the nearly-three-hour movie only covered about a third of this 98-minute documentary.

Through actual footage and interviews with the people who worked with Hughes, the film takes viewers through the ups and downs of Hughes’s life—his business successes, his aviation advances, his Hollywood career, his high-profile relationships, and his extreme obsessive-compulsive behavior. It’s a fascinating—yet tragic story—that will inspire, intrigue, and sadden those who watch it.

If you often find yourself pausing in your channel-surfing to watch The History Channel or the E! True Hollywood Story—or if you found yourself wanting to know more after seeing The Aviator (like I did), you’ll want to pick up a copy of this documentary. Be sure to check out the special features, too, for a collection of Hughes-related newsreels.
