Date Sold 4/11/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical Color-Glos Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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 this is a group of two color-glos (see below) lobby cards from the intended 1941 release of this classic movie (there was also a set of "regular" lobby cards that included a title card)! We are also currently auctioning two individual color-glos lobby cards, in two separate auctions. Posters and lobby cards were printed, but then the release was cancelled. The movie did not receive its general release until 1946, 5 years later! Only a few posters and a couple of dozen lobby cards have surfaced from that aborted 1941 release. Note that these two lobby cards are from a special set of "color glos" lobby cards, which means they were printed on a photo type of paper and have a glossier front, with more vivid colors. This is something the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Condition: very good. Both color-glos lobby cards have some light creases scattered around the edges with a few within the images. Learn More about condition grades
