Lindsay Bloom stars as Jean Harlow in the film "Hughes & Harlow Angel in Hell' the story of Howard Hughes and Jean Harlow in the telling of his movie Hell’s Angels which was the film that really gave Jean Harlow her biggest break and set the stage for the talking picture, color photography and the blockbuster to take over Hollywood.

Directed and produced by Howard Hughes, Harlow’s debut in color also starred Ben Lyon and James Hall. Since Hughes was an avid flying enthusiast, owned airplanes and even an airplane factory, it made sense for him to do a film that centered on the combat pilots of World War I. Anything that Howard Hughes touched seemed to turn to gold, even though controversy during the the film’s production contributed to its notoriety, including the accidental deaths of several pilots, an inflated budget, a lawsuit against a competitor (The Dawn Patrol), and repeated postponements of the release date. Hell’s Angels is now hailed as one of the first sound blockbuster action films.
