An Undated (likely 1950) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (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 a poster from the second release of this movie. Why does it say "after a 3 year delay"? Because after the movie was finally released by RKO in 1946, there were major protests over its overt sexuality, and RKO cut short its release. Three years later, it was given a major re-release (some sources say 1949, but most say 1950, but it was likely three years after it was pulled from the theaters in late 1946 or early 1947). Condition: very good. The poster had just a few creases and tears on some foldlines, and some tiny surface paper loss in the lower part of the vertical foldline. There was tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some pairs of staple holes around the edges of the poster. At some point after it was linenbacked, the poster was lightly creased across the top foldline, which caused slight surface paper loss in the right of that fold. The poster had also began to lift from the linen in the right half of the foldline running through the right half of the title (this is the area where the top piece of the poster overlapped the bottom piece). It would be a simple matter for any restorer to re-glue that area, and touch up the tiny foldline defects. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking.
