Review of Hell's Angels (1930) by Christopher B — 16 Apr 2018

The weakest point of this film is the relationships of the main trio. Why they are best friends (two of them brothers) instead of being merely acquainted within their fraternal group... I don't know. The Zeppelin sequence is a high-point of he film (thrilling & shocking), but not the only high-point.

What does work in this film are the action sequences, many of them live. Then there's the two-tone color sequence with bra-less Harlow being very obvious for the camera. The ending redeems the film as the single person with strong morals opts to be the hero - regardless of the cost to others.
