Auction History Result 7m068 OUTLAW insert '46 close up of sexiest Jane Russell, Jack Buetel, Howard Hughes Date Sold 12/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is from the first general release of this movie. 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 insert is from the 1946 first general release of the movie. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. There are creases and tears around the edges of the poster. There are pinholes in the corners and three in Russell's waist. Someone scratched an "X" in Russell's waist below her belt. There was a 3" tear near the middle of the right border that extended into the "w" of "Outlaw", and someone repaired it with tape from the back that bled through to the front. There is a piece of paper tape on the back of the center of the bottom border and two pieces of tape on the back of the bottom corners. Obviously, this poster has some significant defects, but it is also true that a talented restorer can paperback the card and after proper restoration, it will look great! Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
