Jane Russell became one of the most well-known Hollywood actresses in the world without having been seen in a film, all to the credit of Howard Hughes' incredibly successful ad campaign. Jane Russell got the role after a nationwide search by Howard Hughes for a busty actress. Once they'd found her, Howard Hughes and his aircraft engineers designed a special cantilevered bra to enhance the appearance of Jane Russell's bust. She never wore it, but this movie was the reason the famous bra was designed. The first American film that defied the 'Hayes Code' of morals in the big screen.The film was held up by those censorship problems and not officially released until 1943

The Outlaw (20th Century Fox, 1941). One Sheet (27 X 41) Style A. Here it is. This is the only surviving one sheet of this style for the originally scheduled 1941 United Artists release of this wildly controversial film. The film was held up by censorship problems and not officially released until 1943, making these posters extremely hard to find. Jane Russell became one of the most well-known Hollywood actresses in the world without having been seen in a film, all to the credit of Howard Hughes incredibly successful ad campaign. The poster has a small amount of paper loss in the upper cross fold (in Russells forehead) and a small chip out of her chin and right eyebrow. There is a tear which runs from her nose into her lower lip. These have all been beautifully restored with near-invisible results. There was some slight paper loss on all four corners. Fine- on Linen.
