The Outlaw -By:Howard Hughes/Actors:Jane Russell ; Jack Beutel ; Thomas Mitchell ; Walter Huston
The publicity campaign surrounding The Outlaw's release was a masterpiece. Armed with stills of 19-year-old Jane Russell revealing a remarkable décolletage (while stopping to pick up a pair of milk pails!), Producer/Director Howard Hughes spent tens of thousands of dollars purposely to agitate the censors and arouse public indignation. He released the film independently in San Francisco in 1943 after United Artists refused to distribute it; it was quickly closed down by civic groups. Meanwhile, legendary publicist Russell Birdwell leased thousands of billboards from coast to coast for three years, plastering a suggestive photo of the scantily clad Russell reclining on a bed of hay, gun in hand. By 1946, when Hughes finally re-released the film, audiences flocked to theatre's. Jane Russell was now a Hollywood star!
