The Outlaw

The Outlaw is a 1943 Western movie, starring Jack Buetel and Jane Russell, directed by Howard Hughes. Buetel plays Billy the Kid in a classic western story.

Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was only released to a limited showing two years later. It didn't see a general release until 1946. The delay was a result of Hughes defying the Hays Code, which set the standard of morally acceptable content in motion pictures. By showcasing Jane Russell's ample cleavage in both the movie and the poster artwork, The Outlaw became one of the most controversial pictures of its time.
