A 1937 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Hell's Angels, the classic 1930 Howard Hughes World War I (WWI) England Royal Flying Corps military airplane aviation pilot romantic love triangle melodrama (produced by Howard Hughes; "Howard Hughes' Thrilling Air Spectacle"; "Howard Hughes' Amazing Air Spectacle"; "The First Multi-Million Dollar Talking Picture"; "Howard Hughes' thrilling multi-million dollar - air spectacle"; about two brothers at Oxford who join the RAF when World War I starts, and they both fall for the same beautiful girl, but when they go off on a bombing mission, they return to find her with yet a third man) starring Jean Harlow, Ben Lyon, James Hall, John Darrow, Lucien Prival, and Douglas Gilmore. Note that filming on this movie originally started in 1927, and it was being filmed as a silent, and Greta Nissen had the lead female role. But the movie took a very long time to make, and by that point, sound had taken over Hollywood, and producer/director Howard Hughes made the unusual decision to entirely re-shoot the movie with sound. And since Greta Nissen had a strong Norwegian accent (which made no difference in silent movies, but obviously was terrible for sound), and since Jean Harlow had come along, Hughes replaced Nissen with Harlow, which was the greatest break of Harlow's career, but heartbreaking for Nissen, who continued in movies without a big break until 1937, when she retired!

Someone put two pieces of paper tape on the back of tears and the card was once attached to a mat with four tiny pieces of tape on the back of each corner. Learn More about condition grades
