The Howard boys began their lives as actors almost as soon as they began walking. Their story is very different however from some of the Hollywood tell alls of child actors. These boys were protected and guided by their agent who also happened to be their father and unlike other stories of parental involvement - they were loved and mentored by some of the best the business had to offer. Ron is the product of his various roles - the cowboy in the white hat, the innocent young man who blushes and also the one person you know would have your back. Clint, while not the polar opposite, was very much more of the bad boy and dabbled in the drug scene his brother turned away from. Both of them were absolute professionals. The fun parts for me were getting a behind the scene look at the making of AMERICAN GRAFFITI and the early days of George Lucas who inspired Ron to switch from acting to directing. It is a nice look at the gentler days of Hollywood and a love letter by two brothers who love their family and each other.
