Summary
Hell's Angels was one of several [Hughes] productions that were unavailable for decades, until Universal acquired a package of these features--which also included [Howard Hawks]' 1932 Scarface, Harold Lloyd's 1947 The Sin of Harold Diddlebock and John Wayne's imitation of Genghis Khan in 1956's The Conqueror--for distribution in the 1980s. Although Universal Studios Home Video has issued a no-frills DVD timed to The Aviator's release, the big screen is still the best way to go. The Capitol will present a restored 35mm version accomplished by UCLA's Film and Television Archives, with a party sequence filmed in the two-color Technicolor process (mostly greens and yellows) and blue-tinted nighttime scenes, albeit with a ferocious red inferno to depict the zeppelin's earthly descent. Hell's Angels will be shown Saturday, Feb. 19, 7 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 20, 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults, $1 for children; for information, call 337-6453.
