An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; 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 ("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"; produced by Howard Hughes; 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there are two different kinds of first release lobby cards from this movie. One has no printing in the bottom border, except for "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN U.S.A." (which is in the bottom blank border). The other has the "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN U.S.A." within the image, and is blank in the bottom border. Both of these sets are from the first release, and no one seems to know if one predates the other, and no one places a different value on being from either set. However, this movie was re-released in 1937, with a set of cards that look very much like the 1930 cards, except that they have a copyright in the bottom that is dated 1937. Over the years, I have seen some unscrupulous people delete or alter the "7" from the "1937", and try to pass off a 1937 re-release card as an original, but there are no first release cards that have a copyright at all, so if you see a copyright in the bottom border, then it is from 1937. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card has darkening in the right half of the right blank border and slightly in the outer edges of the other three borders. Otherwise, it is in excellent condition. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
