An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" Movie Still (Learn More) The Outlaw: The Story of Billy the Kid, the classic 1946 Howard Hughes biographical cowboy western romantic melodrama ("Trigger-fast action!"; "Sensation too startling to describe!"; "The last time Howard Hughes said he had someone to show you, he gave you two new stars... Jean Harlow and Paul Muni. Now he makes the same promise again and presents Jane Russell and Jack Buetel"; "At Last.. now you can see Howard Hughes' daring production The Outlaw"; produced by Howard Hughes) starring Jack Buetel (as Billy the Kid; "The Outlaw!"), Jane Russell (in her first big screen role!; "introducing Jane Russell"; "Mean.. Moody.. Magnificent"; "The woman who made him notorious!"), Thomas Mitchell (as Pat Garrett), Walter Huston (as Doc Holliday), Mimi Aguglia, and Joe Sawyer. The movie was almost released in 1941, but it was held up for five years due to censorship problems (there are posters and lobby cards from the aborted 1941 release, but they are extremely rare). Howard Hawks began this film as the director, but soon quit the project due to Hughes' constant interference. Hughes also designed the Cantilever bra for this film to better "show off" Russell's chest (who wouldn't wear it!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that it is of course legendary that this movie was held up for years over censorship, and that most of the censorship problems directly related to Miss Russell's chest, and this still (which may well be from 1941 or any of the next few years) amply demonstrates what caused the censorship problems! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4". Also note that someone wrote "Jane Russell 1950" on the back of the still in pencil, which is likely from when the movie was finally released in the town where the still was used, but we believe the still is certainly from early on in the production. Condition: good. The still has a horizontal crease that runs across Russell's eyebrows and another that runs just above her waist. There is a partial slightly diagonal vertical crease in the bottom left of the still, and numerous minor border defects. There are some faint creases and smudges around the edges of the still. The still DOES have the above clear defects, so please do not bid on this fantastic still unless you can either live with them or are willing to pay to have the still properly restored!
