An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Teaser One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 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 when this movie was finally being released (after five years, see below), RKO created this special teaser one-sheet to promote that "at last" audiences could see this "daring production"! Also 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 one-sheet is from the 1946 first general release of the movie. Obviously, this poster has no image, only text, and what is even stranger is that we have seen two different versions of it! They appear identical, but one of them has what look like small areas of surface paper loss around the edges of the black background, but actually, those areas are in the printing! We have no idea why this was done, or why it was printed twice. We have only seen one example of each type of this poster. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair. As noted above, what looks like areas of surface paper loss around the edges are actually part of the printing. However, the poster has separation and tiny tears on parts of the folds and someone put tape on the back of some of those areas. There was also paper loss at the middle crossfold and someone put clear tape on the front and back of that. Someone used the back of the top of the poster to paint a word in large black letters, and it slightly bleeds through to the front. Learn More about condition grades
