Melvin and Howard Redux

Melvin Dummar, of Melvin and Howard fame, has filed a lawsuit once more seeking his share of the estate of Harold Hughes. Although he lost his first suit almost thirty years ago, he has picked up a witness - the pilot who flew Hughes to the brothel near which Dummar claims to have found Hughes ,- an ex-FBI agent who has done some additional investigation and an aggressive lawyer. His suit is based on the charge that those close to Hughes concealed information as to Hughes' whereabouts on the fateful night. He's hoping for a settlement, despite the fact that the suit asks for $156,000,000 plus interest since 1978 and punitive damages.

Maybe there will eventually be a sequel to the movie.
