OUTLAW, THE (1943) 16412

Original United International Productions Re-Release (c1960) Half Sheet Poster (22x28). Folded. Fine Plus Condition.

Original United International Productions late fifties or early sixties Re-release Half Sheet (22x28) for the Howard Hughes sex-western, THE OUTLAW (1943)--starring Jane Russell, Jack Buetel, Thomas Mitchell, and Walter Huston. Howard Hawks started as director but quit after two weeks. Howard Hughes then took over himself as director. Though the film was finished in February 1941, it was not shown theatrically for another two years, mostly because of censorship problems, which required cuts and revisions. It was finally released in February 1943, but censorship hassles caused Hughes to shelve it again until 1946. Even then, the owner of the theater in San Francisco was arrested for showing a film "offensive to decency." Original posters for THE OUTLAW can cost a lot, but this garish reissue poster gives you the basic Russell in all her Rustic Glory. Buetel plays a pretty boy Billy the Kid. The poster is in fine plus condition.
