The guy playing Howard Hughes in that movie found out Alan Arkin was to play some scenes with him and he was a little scared to actually meet him, after seeing him in Wait Until Dark.

Thanks for the info. Will have to check out The Rocketeer.

The Rocketeer is about as far as you can get from horror. It's a tribute to the old serials and the more recent graphic novels celebrating them.

The other thing about the movie is that Jennifer Connelly is in it and plays the heros girl friend, a character based on the imagery of Berry Page.

I'll give you  a teaser image, taken from the graphic novel that inspired the movie:

The Rocketeer and Betty

There are multiple web sites....

I love the movie.
