This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1951 for the first release of The Outlaw.
This poster is fantastically rare, we have only ever had another in a B1 size which sold very quickly!
This B3 size poster has fantastic colors, unfaded given its age. It is the perfect size to frame and display anywhere! We love it!!
This film was produced and directed by Howard Hughes, and stars Jack Buetel, Thomas Mitchell and Jane Russell. It tells the story of Pat Garrett, Doc Holliday and Billy the Kid. This film was Russell's breakthrough role and turned her into an instant Hollywood sex symbol.
Howard Hughes, who produced and directed this sexy western, had the first underwire push-up bra designed for Jane Russell, for her role in this film, in order to emphasize her breasts. The film failed to get censorship approval twice, and finally was allowed to be properly shown in 1950. The film tells the legendary story of Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday. However, it is overshadowed by Hughes' focus on Russell's sexuality.
It is over 73 years old!
