An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 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 from the first general release of this movie in 1946 (see below for why it took five years to release!). It was first made in 1941, and shortly before it could be released by 20th Century Fox, problems with the censors caused Howard Hughes to not release it at that time. He released it through United Artists in 1946, and then, in 1950, after he had purchased RKO, he released it again himself. This lobby card is from the 1946 first general release of the movie. Condition: fair to good. There are scuff marks and scratches scattered throughout the card, including some in the stars' images (more so at right). There are many tack holes around the edges of the card with some tattering and small paper loss from rough removal. The card has faded slightly with age. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
