Hell's Angels Criterion 4K 10/25 Blu-ray (Rental)

A high-flying feat of adventure filmmaking and a testament to the audacious, spare-no-expense vision of Howard Hughes, this landmark aviation epic remains exhilarating both for its daredevil aerial sequences and its nervy pre-Code punch. With the onset of World War I, two British brothers recruited into the Royal Flying Corps (Ben Lyon and James Hall) find their bond tested by their differing attitudes toward the war and their love for the same woman (Jean Harlow in her bombshell breakthrough). The product of a notoriously long and dangerous production that resulted in the deaths of multiple crew members, Hell’s Angels broke new technical ground, making use of early sound and color technologies, and capturing some of the most thrilling dogfight scenes ever filmed. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration of the Magnascope road-show version of the film, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features New interview with Robert Legato, the visual-effects supervisor for the Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator, on the groundbreaking aerial visuals of Hell’s Angels New interview with critic Farran Smith Nehme about actor Jean Harlow Outtakes from the film, with commentary by Harlow biographer David Stenn English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by author and journalist Fred Kaplan
