Hell’s Angels  — 4K 11/15/25

The Criterion Collection
4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray

A 4K remaster puts a high polish on Howard Hughes’ WW1 air war epic — an enormous personal project that allowed the playboy tycoon to indulge his obsessions for women, movies and especially aviation. The film’s air combat has never been equalled: some shots have upwards of 30 aircraft buzzing through the clouds at the same time. The film made Jean Harlow an instant star; he even included a color sequence to show off her platinum hair. The sex attitudes are frank and shameless, and Harlow bares a lot in the name of pre-Code license. The new uncut disc is ‘multi-aspect ratio’ — the home video screen adjusts for a 1930 gimmick called ‘Magnascope.’ On 4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
