The Outlaw [Region 2] description
A fast-paced, entertaining lark of a film, The Outlaw is known today mostly for the buoyant performance of Jane Russell, whose career was engineered by the film's director, Howard Hughes, otherwise infamous for his reclusive millionaire ways. But more than that, the film boasts a set of finely tuned performances in the retelling of the story of Billy the Kid (Jack Beutel), whose burgeoning friendship with Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) arouses an intense hatred in Sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell, arguably the greatest character actor who ever lived). As Rio, Doc Holliday's girl, Jane Russell creates an irrepressible presence that lends an ample foundation to the story when her affections for Billy cleave his relationship with Doc. There are enough psychosexual rumblings to go around that the pace never sags. --Jim Gay |

Hey Janie Babe!
|
| The only reason this film gets two stars is because of Jane Russell. Howard Hughes was no John Ford. But surprisingly, he wasn't bad as a director. He wasn't good, but he wasn't bad. The only reason to watch this film is for Jane Russell's debut. The script is inane, and the acting by the leads will make you cringe. But bountiful Jane wears low cut tops, and when she bends over -- holy mackeral. And there is more fun to the film in the close-ups Hughes takes of Jane emoting impending sex. Hughes intention was for Jane to be erotic, but the expressions on her face are not of this world. There is no man that has ever seen these facial contortions on a woman. Trust me. Buy a used copy, only for these scenes. It is worth the laugh. |
