| Reviews for The Outlaw (1943)
Amazon.com
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
DVD features
The makers of this disc, Master Movies, have included Japanese subtitles, for those so inclined. And they've been considerate enough to windowbox the opening and closing credits and titles, which often get cut off on the sides when viewed on TV. The print they used is 116 minutes, though some sources list the original length of the film, before it underwent several years of censorship, at 121 minutes. So there may be five titillating minutes of footage waiting to be restored that you might never get to see. Not even if you cross your heart. --Jim Gay
