I don't know who the writer is. She's certainly entertaining, but when
she says that Hughes inherited a fortune from his father and spent
huge chunks of it making films etc, then she is wildly inaccurate.

Hughes inherited millions of dollars and turned them into billions of
dollars. He was a very, very successful businessman. The movie catches
the wild nature of some of his bets. What it doesn't catch (and what
Ms Taylor chooses to gloss over) is that many of them were hugely
successful.
