"Jonathan Demme's award-winning comedy about Melvin Dummar, who became an overnight celebrity when a will appeared declaring him the inheritor of Howard Hughes' estate, gets a straightforward presentation for its release on DVD. Melvin and Howard has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono, and the dialogue is in English, with optional subtitles in French and Spanish and closed captions in English. The film's original theatrical trailer has been included as a bonus."
