Auteur director Scorsese begins his movie with the making of the war film Hell’s Angels and paints Hughes as a naïve but idealistic director completely new to the moviemaking business. The truth is, he already had some experience in the film industry, having produced the Academy Award-winning Two Arabian Knights. While Hell’s Angels was an undeniab...

Scorsese had the difficult task of portraying germophobe Hughes’ obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) during a time when there was no medical definition.
