In the early 1920s Hughes entered the world of motion pictures through his uncle, Rupert Hughes, the famous author and movie producer. Hughes, in his compulsive manner, learned every aspect of the motion picture business, including operating cameras, lighting, and editing. The public was generally receptive to Hughes's movies, although since he was an outsider the big movie companies such as M-G-M and Paramount hated him, also due in part to his anti-Semitism. The movie Hell's Angels made Hughes the most famous movie producer in the United States. It was a colossal picture about aerial death and dogfighting in World War I. After years of fighting censors over the sexual nature of his films and dealing with the large motion picture companies, Hughes abandoned filmmaking in 1932.
