One hundred and thirty-seven pilots, 87 airplanes. . 35 cameramen, 2000 extras. How long will it be before this picture. . ends up costing as much as the real war? Damn it. Why the hell do they look so slow? This isnt what it was like up there. They look like goddamn models! Son of a bitch. Howard? Without something standing still behind the planes. .weve got no idea of how fast were moving. We got no sense of relative motion. Call UCLA. Get me the best meteorologist they got. You get him here in an hour, all right? Hey. You want the good news or the bad news? - Bad news, always. - All right. We installed the 450 radial. Struts wont take the vibration. Minute we fire her up, the struts start cracking at the attach points. - Well, whats the good news? - There isnt any. Goddamn it, Odie. If the 450s too big, we figure something else out. Weve done everything. Weve rebuilt her from top to toe. If we drain the fuel tank. .she might make 180 miles per hour. - I want minimum 200, all right? I want a date with Theda Bara. That aint gonna happen. Oh, dont be so sure. If the struts wont sustain the engine we need, we gotta get rid of the struts. No, then the top wing falls off. Then let it. What? Who says we need a top wing? I mean, who says we need anything? - A monoplane. - A cantilevered monoplane, right? Theyre doing it in France. To hell with the top wing and struts. - A 550 Wasp engine. - One-hundred-octane fuel. - That would give us a horsepower of what? - Seven hundred. We squeeze that to a thousand, we got the fastest plane ever built. You know, Ive gotta say. .weve already spent over $200,000 rebuilding this plane. To hell with it. Tear it up, Odie. Go on. Well. The cumulonimbus formations about which you speak. .that look like. Giant breasts full of milk. I want clouds, damn it. Yes, clouds. .that look like giant breasts full of milk. .cannot exactly be guaranteed for any particular occasion. So you might have to. To wait. Then well wait. Look, whatever they pay you at UCLA. .Im doubling it, all right? You work for me now. Find some clouds. Find some clouds. Find me some clouds! Welcome to Hells Angels. Thank you. Ive been to Chatsworth, Santa Cruz, Encino, San Diego. .Riverside, Van Nuys and Bakersfield. It has been eight months! Where are my goddamn clouds, huh? They move, Mr. Hughes! Clouds move. - Thats what they do. They move! - You see that? It is costing me $5271 a day. .to keep those planes on the ground. You find me some goddamn clouds, huh? Nice day. Yeah, very funny. I got a call from Houston. Theyre getting nervous. Stop showing them the damn bills. That would be illegal. Shit, no. Maybe its a little bit naughty. Hughes Tool is incorporated in Texas. They have to see the bills. Incorporate a new division out here. Well call it Hughes Aircraft. - Do we need these rivets on the cowling? - Yeah, or the reverse thrust would rip it off. Theyre gonna give me drag. Do something about that. - Wind resistance on rivets? - I want her slippery. There are tax consequences to incorporating in California. - Just take care of it, would you? - Mr. Hughes! Oakland! - We have clouds in Oakland! - You mean it this time? Yes! Goddamn it, yes. I can promise you. - Clouds in Oakland. - All right, dont get all jittery now. Oakland! Oakland! Were going to Oakland! Oakland. Down and to the left! Thats perfect! Thats right, Senator George. Yes, young Howard Hughes has pulled it off! After two years, Hells Angels has finally finished filming. Theres gonna be one heck of a wrap party in Hollywood tonight. The price tag? A staggering $2 million. If every human being in America buys a ticket. . he might even make a profit. First, clouds dont come. Then planes break down. Then the planes crash. Weve had everything but a plague of locusts on this thing. I mean, you have to admit. Now, honestly, did you ever think youd actually finish the damn thing? Come with me. Mama, darling, if Im a success in this show. - . were gonna move from here. - Oh, no. Yes. Were gonna move up in the Bronx. Green grass, a lot of people you know. The Ginsbergs, the Guttenbergs and the Goldbergs. Oh, a whole lot of bergs. I don t know them all. See, this is what the people want. Silent pictures are yesterdays news. So I figure we gotta reshoot Hells Angels for sound. How much of it? All of it. Before you ask, Ill tell you. An additional 1.7 million. We got that much? - No! - Well, well make it. Take care of that, would you? Now, get this. In the halls of 7000 Romaine. . it goes on day after day, month after month. Howard Hughes is now editing some 25 miles of film. Heck, I say release it now and give the world its first 560-hour movie. Pat, Mr. Hughes needs this reel in the projection room right now! Enough is enough, Mr. Hughes. Are you ever gonna let us actually see this epic of yours? Hurry up! - Who is it? - Noah. Come on in. Ive been on the phone to Houston for three hours. - Were fixing every goddamn book we have. - Wait, wait. Yeah. Run reel 10 again. I think were duplicating a shot here. And tell Jimmy I want 10 chocolate chip cookies, all right? Medium chips, none too close to the outside. Got it? You remember that goddamn shot from reel 10? No. I dont remember anything from reel 10. I dont know what reel 10 is. Im a businessman, Howard. And so are you. Now, look. This has been a great ride. Weve had a hell of a lot of fun. But youre losing $25,000 a day doing this. Every day. So, what are my options? Well, this time I dont know that you have any. Im afraid you gotta close it down. Dig your way out. Im sorry, Howard. I truly am. Reel 10, Mr. Hughes. Mortgage Tool Co. - Every asset. You heard me. - lf you do that, you could lose everything. Well, I wont. I wont. All right. Ill get into it. Thanks, Noah. More than half a million souls lining the curb of Hollywood Boulevard. Look at the automobiles! There are 45,000 cars here, making it the greatest traffic jam ever seen. Howard Hughes must have a lump in his throat. Six months after the stock market crashes and after three pilots deaths. . hes finally unveiling his $4 million baby doll. Its the most expensive movie ever made. Nothing five-and-dime for our Mr. Hughes. Nothing like tonight has ever been seen before, and I can say. . it will never be seen again. Five hundred thousand people are crowding the streets to get a glimpse of the stars. Three companies of Marines were called to assist. . the 250 special police who are handling this enormous crowd. This is an industry town. And nobody but nobody makes a movie outside a studio. Some Hollywood insiders over at the Brown Derby may be laughing. And now, I think. Yes, yes, I can see Mr. Hughes car arriving now. Mr. Hughes escorts the lovely starlet Jean Harlow. He discovered her for this picture, and we think her platinum blond locks. . and hot-jazz, baby-doll style are gonna make her a big star. Howard! Howard! Over here! - This way, boss. Right over there. - Mr. Hughes, how about a word? Big night for you, Mr. Hughes. Big night for you tonight. Very big. Very big. Tell us what it was like making this fabulous picture. Yes. Yeah. So 4 million clams from your own pocket. Nervous how the flick will fly? Big night. You enjoy the show. Yes, well, let me present the feminine star of this spectacle, Hells Angels. .Miss Jean Harlow. - Thank you. I would like to use this occasion to thank Mr. Hughes. .for the opportunity he gave me. Thank you. Thank you! Now Id like to ask Roscoe Arbuckle. .to introduce his pet lion cub, Gilmore. Whats the matter with you? Cant remember my name? Im sorry. Roscoe Turner, and this would be Gilmore. Its going! Its going! Murder! Thats what this dirty, rotten politician war is, murder! You know it as well as I do. Stand up, slim, take a bow. Reel four played too long. Too many coughs. Get the team out of the party and to the office. I wanna cut a few shots. Oh, find Glenn. Somebody write this down. Flush rivets. Got that? - Flush rivets. - Flush rivets. Lickety-split, boss. Here he is! Here he is! Variety says, This one won t miss! - Magnificently photographed! - Awesome beyond description! The most extraordinary output to emerge from a motion-picture studio. Not for a long time have I seen anything as enthralling. It costs 4 million dollars and has 4 million thrills! - Majestically. - Most epic picture of its time! A lighter shade. I dont want to look like Boris Karloff. If you know what I mean. I read in the magazines that you play golf. On occasion. Well, how about nine holes? Now, Mr. Hughes? If it would be convenient, Miss Hepburn. Youre not extending enough on your follow-through. Follow-through is everything in golf, just like life. Dont you find? Saw your Scarface picture. - Violent. - Realistic. Movies are movies, Howard. Not life. Now the stage. The stage is real. Real flesh and blood. Human beings right out there in front of you, buster. Cant look away. Cant munch popcorn. That would be rude. Do you like the theater? - No. - Oh, I adore the theater. Only alive on-stage. Ill teach you. Well see some Ibsen. If the Republicans havent outlawed him by now. Youre not a Republican, are you? How did you vote in 32? - Well, I didnt. - You must! Its your sacred franchise. Heard you were wooing Ginger Rogers. What about that? Shes just a friend. Men cant be friends with women. They must possess them or leave them be. Its a primitive urge from caveman days. Its all in Darwin. Hunt the flesh, kill the flesh, eat the flesh. Thats the male sex all over. Excuse me? Well, if youre deaf, you must own up to it. Get a hearing aid. Or see my father. Hes a urologist, but its all tied up inside the body, dont you find? Me, I keep healthy. I take seven showers a day to keep clean. Also because I am whats so vulgarly referred to as outdoorsy. Im not outdoorsy. Im athletic. I sweat. There it is. Now we both know the sordid truth. I sweat and youre deaf. Arent we a fine pair of misfits? Three. Noble effort. So I suppose youre wooing me now? Oh, well. Not enough. Not enough. These rivets have to be completely flush. I want every screw and jo
