HELLS ANGELS ON SUPER 8 FILM AT THE HISTORIC TEMPLE THEATER

7PM JUNE 26th

SEE HELLS ANGELS PROJECTED IN SUPER 8 FILM AT THE HISTORIC TEMPLE THEATER!

Hell's Angels is a 1930 American pre-Code independent epic war film directed and produced by Howard Hughes, with dialogue directed by James Whale. Written by Harry Behn and Howard Estabrook and starring Ben Lyon, James Hall and Jean Harlow, it was released through United Artists. It follows two dissimilar brothers, both members of the British Royal Flying Corps during the First World War.

The film was originally shot as a silent film. The Jazz Singer, which ushered in the sound era, premiered several weeks before the start of principal photography for Hell's Angels and left the public clamoring for talking pictures. A year and a half later, Hughes decided to convert his film to sound. The original female lead, Norwegian-American Greta Nissen, had to be replaced due to her accent. Jean Harlow became a major star as her successor. The production took three years (1927–1930) and Hughes spared no expense, so that despite being one of the highest-grossing films of the early sound era, it did not recoup its exorbitant $2.8 million cost.

The show starts at 7! Doors open around 6:30
