Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''The Outlaw'', a 1943 American Western film directed by Howard Hughes, starring Jane Russell in her debut role, alongside Jack Buetel and Thomas Mitchell. The film is best remembered for its controversial marketing, which capitalized on Russell's voluptuous figure, and for its lavish production values.
Set in the Old West, the story revolves around the legendary outlaw Billy the Kid, portrayed by Jack Buetel, and his encounters with Doc Holliday, played by Walter Huston, and Pat Garrett, portrayed by Thomas Mitchell. The plot focuses on the love triangle that develops between Billy, Doc, and Rio McDonald, played by Jane Russell, as they navigate the treacherous landscape of the frontier.
"The Outlaw" is characterized by its lush Technicolor cinematography, elaborate costumes, and romanticized portrayal of the Old West. Directed by Howard Hughes with a flair for spectacle and melodrama, the film immerses viewers in a world of adventure, danger, and romance.
Jane Russell delivers a sultry and captivating performance as Rio McDonald, the object of desire for both Billy the Kid and Doc Holliday. Her presence on screen is magnetic, commanding attention with her beauty, charisma, and smoldering sensuality.
Despite its controversial marketing and mixed critical reception, "The Outlaw" was a commercial success upon its release, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year. It solidified Jane Russell's status as a sex symbol and launched her career as a Hollywood star.
Overall, "The Outlaw" remains a classic of American cinema, celebrated for its iconic imagery, memorable performances, and enduring popularity. While it may be criticized for its sensationalized portrayal of violence and sexuality, the film's place in film history is secure, as a testament to the power of Hollywood mythmaking and the enduring appeal of the Western genre.
