An Original Vintage Movie World Premiere Souvenir Program Book (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 56 pages) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that this program is from the world premiere of this classic movie that was held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on May 27, 1930. It has leather covers (and the cover has amazing airplane art embossed in the leather with the title in the upper left) and it has wonderful images and information about the movie, some of which is likely not available anywhere else (see our images of some of the pages). Note that we have pictured the front cover and several interior 2-page spreads from this program. Condition: good to very good. The leather covers have stains around the edges. There was a brown glassine sheet that was originally inside of the cover, but almost all of it has torn away. The first interior page has many stains on both sides and some paper loss around the edges, and the last interior page also has staining and the missing glassine sheet (those glassine sheets were there to keep the leather from staining the interior pages, and once it was gone, they did cause staining). A few of the first and last pages have some slight darkening, but the rest of the pages are in nice condition (see our many photos). Learn More about condition grades
