Jason Robards was nominated for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar for playing Howard Hughes in this movie. It was the third time in five years that Robards had been nominated in this category at the Academy Awards, and in each case he was playing a real person. The first two times, in 1977 and 1978, Robards had achieved the extraordinary feat of winning back-to-back Oscars. The films Robards won consecutive Academy Awards for were Julia (1977) and All the President's Men (1976).
One of writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's favorites films. Actor Jason Robards' final cinema movie was Anderson's Magnolia (1999). The photography in Anderson's The Master (2012) is said to have been inspired by this picture.
Jack Nicholson turned down the role of Melvin Dummar, though he did pass on the script to Mary Steenburgen, his Goin' South (1978) co-star.
The picture won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Film of 1980.
Actress Mary Steenburgen won several Best Supporting Actress Awards for this movie. These included the Academy Award (Oscar), the Golden Globe Award, the New York Film Critics Circle Award, the National Society of Film Critics Award and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award.
"Lynda Dummar: It says you can be anything you want to be if you'll just believe in yourself. And you believe in yourself - it's just the believing hasn't been enough to let you become what you believe you can be. Melvin Dummar: Honey, they didn't burn down Rome in one day - you got to keep pluggin'."
"Lynda Dummar: C'est la vie. Melvin Dummar: What's that? Lynda Dummar: French, Melvin. I used to dream of becoming a French interpreter. Melvin Dummar: You don't speak French. Lynda Dummar: I told you it was only a dream."
