C ' ! I . - n, I abMaV aYt ""alBf- ,C1 By TOM MOORE Arts iKditor Melvin and Howard the most likeable American film since The Black Stallion is a loving meditation on the American Dream. Director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Bo Goldman have fashioned this bittersweet comedy from the life of Melvin Dummar, one of the benefactors named in the controversial 'Mormon will' of Howard Hughes. Dummar was to receive one-sixteenth of Hughes' fortune which amounts to about $150 million. Dummar was named as a recipient because he said in late 1967 or early 1968 he rescued Hughes from the Nevada desert. The sheer incredibility of Dummar's claim led to the Morn-on will being thrown out ,of court, despite much evi dence in its favor. Melvin and Howard, taking Dummar at his word, begins with the mythical encounter. Howard Hughes, a grungy, boney, old geezer ably impersonated by Jason Robards, . tools wildly about the desert on a motorcycle. He crashes and is rescued by the sheepish do-gooder Melvin Dummar. The incredibility of the encounter is exploited in the se quence. The grouchy and paranoid Hughes, faced with the choice of walking, is forced to sing along with the jubilant Dummar, who thinks Hughes is just some down-and-out wino. First, they sing Dummar's own composition "Santa's Souped-Up Sleigh" and then Hughes is forced to solo on "Bye-Bye Blackbird." And you can tell that Hughes, in spite of himself, is having a good 'time. Melvin end Howard then shifts to the. everyday life of Melvin Dummar! between the time of his rendevous with Hughes and the discovery of the Mormon will. We follow this loser who never quits dreaming through his stints as a magnesium plant worker, a; milkman and a gas station : owner..: -. .. .. , .. I - ' ; . We follow the ttizzy ups and downs of his marital life from his first wife Lynda (Mary Steenburgen), a mousey faced woman who leaves Melvin to become a stripper and then remarries him later, to his second wife Bonnie (Pamela Reed), who marries Melvin because she knows they're both lonely. It really doesn't matter whether the core of Melvin Dum mar's story is true or not because of the way the . film is handled. Demme and Goldman have forged Dummar into a sort of "American Everyman" whom they use to explore the Horatio Alger dreams that so many Americans hold dear and the impossibility of such dreams ever really coming true. Though they are dealing with lower middle-class Ameri cans, Demme and Goldman present their characters in an intelligent manner that is never belittling or mean-spirited. This is a rare approach in redneck films where people are usually either blowing away others or yelling "Yee-Haaaa!" or smashing up cars. This different approach explains why Melvin and Howard has so far proved to be poison at the box office. It's a classy redneck film so folks who respond to the antics of Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood don't know how to react. And the supposed-erudite, who should respond to the fact that the film has received rave reviews and was the se lection of the National Society of Film Critics as the best film of 1980, have treated Melvin and Howard as they did Jonathan Demme's equally brilliant redneck comedy Citi zen 's Band. They've avoided it like the plague. While this may be because of the lousy advertising cam paign I suspect it's because the film is so embracing of lower middle-class Americans and all their foibles. Jonathan Demme has frequently been compared to the great Hollywood maverick of the 1940s, Preston Sturges. But all they really have in common is a fascination with small-town America. If Demme's films had the kick and cynical comic madness of Sturges' I think they'd be bigger hits. But Demme doesn't make films for the box office; he makes them from his heart. And he's too knowing, too wise to ridicule the subjects that fascinate him. ' V But it's still a shame that more people aren't going to see Melvin and Howard. If you miss this one, it's your fault.
