Product Description:
The tale begins with law-enforcer Pat Garrett's ruse to trap and cage legendary outlaw Billy the Kid. But Billy is wise to the lawman's scheme and lies low at pal Doc Holliday's ranch. Trouble soon begins to brew, however, when The Kid falls for Doc's lover Rio. Although Billy is responsible for the death of Rio's brother, she returns the desperado's affection, and the two marry on the sly. But the betrothed couple has a volatile relationship, and as the trio runs from Garrett and his gang of lawmen, the group quarrels amongst themselvesmaking it difficult to escape.

A fast-paced, entertaining lark of a film, The Outlaw is known today mostly for the buoyant performance of Jane Russell, whose career was engineered by the film's director, Howard Hughes, otherwise infamous for his reclusive millionaire ways. But more than that, the film boasts a set of finely tuned performances in the retelling of the story of Billy the Kid (Jack Beutel), whose burgeoning friendship with Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) arouses an intense hatred in Sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell, arguably the greatest character actor who ever lived). As Rio, Doc Holliday's girl, Jane Russell creates an irrepressible presence that lends an ample foundation to the story when her affections for Billy cleave his relationship with Doc. There are enough psychosexual rumblings to go around that the pace never sags. --Jim Gay

The only reason this film gets two stars is because of Jane Russell. Howard Hughes was no John Ford. But surprisingly, he wasn't bad as a director. He wasn't good, but he wasn't bad. The only reason to watch this film is for Jane Russell's debut. The script is inane, and the acting by the leads will make you cringe. But bountiful Jane wears low cut tops, and when she bends over -- holy mackeral. And there is more fun to the film in the close-ups Hughes takes of Jane emoting impending sex. ... Read More

There is some talent behind the making of THE OUTLAW: the acting of Walter Huston (THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE) and Thomas Mitchell (HIGH NOON) and the cinematography of Gregg Toland (CITIZEN KANE). All this talent, however, goes to waste behind the weak plot and dialogue, the limp directing by Howard Hughes, and the talent-less acting of the featured candy, Jane Russell.
The fanciful plot has Doc Holliday (Huston) playing pals with William "Billy the Kid" Bonney (Jack Buetel) after ... Read More

Sherriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell) and Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) are simply the best of friends...until Billy the Kid (Jack Beutel) shows up in town and then steals both Doc Holliday's horse and his beautiful girlfriend "Rio" (played by lusty, busty, 19-year-old Jane Russell!). Holliday somehow forgives and befriends Billy the Kid (turning his back on his old friend Pat Garrett in the process) and together they get into trouble with the sherriff, who shoots Billy the Kid. Lucky for Billy, he's ... Read More

Having recently seen the 2004 film THE AVIATOR about millionaire aircraft designer Howard Hughes, I was compelled to see THE OUTLAW, a major motion picture directed by Hughes in 1941. My interest was purely intellectual, mind you. It had nothing to do with the director's fixation on the cleavage and opulent ... well, you know ... of its 19-year old starlet, Jane Russell, which sparked a spirited battle between Hughes and the censors of the Production Code Administration, delayed the film's release until ...

Ok, so it's not a "film." It has interesting little twists that are enjoyable and surprising and has some good characters, too, like the tia. Jane doesn't really act so much as smolder, but that's all right. I liked Jack Buetel even though he wasn't much of an actor (looks like he was in one other western and then vanished from sight). Of course it isn't history anymore than it's art! So I guess the conclusion of this review is that you may need to bring more forgiveness to "The Outlaw" than you would ... Read More
