  Stone Cold Pimpin': The Aviator
Geoffrey O'Brien made a big hoohah in Film Comment about this time last year about the film, praising it for exactly that: the reclusive, germ phobic Hughes won't conform to the demands on the sort of narrative the story sets out.
Hughes is portrayed as the underdog, as if he'd come from his nothing and made his fortune.
In real life, Hughes' father was a Harvard educated oil and drill bit businessman--and who made the fortune that Hughes inherited when he was a teenager.

 Geoffrey Hughes
Geoffrey Hughes, like Alan A. Jackson, belongs to that fortunate set of railway enthusiast-authors who knew the post-Grouping railways before the Second World War, and the period of economic austerity which followed.
The generation which followed Hughes and Jackson were perhaps fortunate to see the diversity which formerly existed before the railways declined into a sort of high speed inter-urban tramway which in vast areas is not even electrified.
Thus, it is appropriate to begin the section on Hughes' authorship with a quotation from his LNER which eminated from what its publisher (Ian Allan) envisaged as a sort of Pullman car role in its operations entitled Malaga Books (named after a preserved Pullman car).
