An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (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 is surely an original 1930 lobby card from this classic movie (the 1937 lobby cards look very similar, but on the 1930 original cards, the airplane in the border is pointing down, while in the 1937 cards, the airplane in the border art is pointing up!). Over the years, I have seen many unscrupulous people delete or alter the "7" from the "1937", and try to pass off a 1937 re-release card as an original! Condition: good. There were several tears in the borders, and they have been taped from the reverse. There is tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner. There are some faint smudges throughout the card, including some in the face of the man at left and in the left side of Harlow's face. Learn More about condition grades
