Auction History Result 3z772 OUTLAW LC R1950 best close up of barely-dressed Jane Russell in hay, Howard Hughes Date Sold 2/1/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1950 Re-Release 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 a lobby card from the second release of this movie (not counting the aborted 1941 release, which never happened). Why does it say "after a 3 year delay"? Because after the movie was finally released by RKO in 1946, there were major protests over its overt sexuality, and RKO cut short its release. Three years later, it was given a major re-release (some sources say 1949, but most say 1950, but it was likely three years after it was pulled from the theaters in late 1946 or early 1947). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. There is a tape stain in the middle right of the card, but it only affects the border and background area (see our image). Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
