Product description
Brand New 2K Restoration! This controversial and legendary western launched the career of sex goddess Jane Russell (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and is infamous due to its violations of the Production Code. The Outlaw follows the friendship of Billy the Kid (Jack Buetel, Rose of Cimarron) and fellow outlaw Doc Holliday (Walter Huston, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), as they both pursue the affections of Holliday's girlfriend, Rio (Russell), while being chased through the desert by Sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell, Stagecoach) and his posse. Financed and directed by reclusive tycoon Howard Hughes (Hell's Angels), his second and final directing effort--the film's release was delayed several years due to censorship issues and public outroar relating to Russell's abundant cleavage! It finally received a wide release by United Artists in 1946 and became a big box office hit. Legendary filmmaker Howard Hawks (Rio Bravo) co-directed the film with Hughes, but was not credited.brbrSpecial Features:br-Audio Commentary by Film Historian Troy Howarth br-Trailers

- Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2003This review refers to the Classic Western DVD edition(Platinum Disc Corp) of "The Outlaw"(1943).....
If you are looking for something with a good script, good dialouge, good acting or at the very least historical accuracy in a western, fahget about it. This is not the one! What you will get is some classic actors in a fun western,that is a little on the risque side for the early fourties and it might make you smile if nothing else.
The film, which has trouble deciding on whether it is a comedy or a drama stars such greats as Walter Huston, Thomas Mitchell, and Jane Russell's breasts(in their breakthrough role which led to all those great Playtex bra commercials).It was directed by Howard Hawks and Howard Hughes, who apparently had a thing for Jane Russell at the time.
The story involves a love triangle between Doc Holliday(Huston), Billy the Kid(a very cute Jack Buetel) and the voluptuous "Rio"(Russell).Doc has come to town to find his stolen horse, "Red" the strawberry roan(who by the way steals the show in this one),meets up with Billy, and immediatly the two form a unique friendship to the chagrin of Sherriff Pat Garrett(Mitchell).Billy gets in some trouble, and is shot by the bumbling sherriff and is taken to Rio's place by Doc to heal. Rio who already has it in for Billy for shooting her brother, seems to overcome that little problem when the Florence Nightingale effect takes over. But here's the problem....she was Doc's girl first. Who will get the girl? More importantly.. Who will get the horse? Will Garrett catch up with these outlaws?
Just want to check it out for yourself? I often see it on the Turner Classics Movie Station.
If you're a die hard western fanatic, you will get a kick out of this film.This 1943 black and white film looks surprisingly good on this DVD(you will notice the film's age occassionaly). Although you'll need to crank the sound up a bit, it is clear and distinguable at all times.There are filmographies of the stars and a fun little quiz about the film(naturally I aced it!)
All that's left to say is.... Aw Shucks Ma'am....Laurie
- Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2017Verified PurchaseAnother great western movie. Classics like this are hard to come by and the price was cheap.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2001There's a reason you've never heard of actor Jack Buetel: if you wax your kitchen floor you'll generate more excitement in five seconds than Buetel manages throughout the course of the film. Work a few seconds more and you'll also surpass the whole entertainment value of the entire movie. In keeping with Buetel, supporting actors Walter Huston and Thomas Mitchell eschew their normally excellent work in favor of some truly dismal performances. And then, of course, there are the real stars of the film, Jane Russell's breasts. Now, it is true that THE OUTLAW ran into censorship problems because of Jane Russell's breasts, which appear here, there, and everywhere in the film--but they haven't (ahem!) held up over the years; by today's standards it's all pretty much Brady Bunch stuff, and if you're really interested in Jane Russell's charms you'll find them displayed to considerably greater advantage in any number of her later films.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2000Among the infinite versions of the legend of Billy the Kid, this one is by far the most extraordinary. And I say it for two reasons. The first one is that the film combines three essential elements always present in a good script: love, friendship and treason. Everything's fine between Doc Holliday and Pat Garrett, until Billy the Kid comes up. He steals Doc's horse and, despite of this, Doc becomes his friend and protector, which makes Pat swear to God we will catch both of them. Between the gunmen is the lovely Rio (Jane Russell, in an unforgettable performance), a character too sexy and too provocative for a mid-forties western. Her presence is a guarantee of a bizarre and unexpected love triangle. The second reason is, since this story is a legend, everything is possible, even changing the obvious ending. Maybe you'll get disappointed with the conclusion but certainly it will make you reflect upon the oldest dilemma of mankind: the good and the evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Das Mädchen und die Revolverhelden...
Verified PurchaseIn dem Science Fiction Kultfilm "Der Junge und sein Hund" aus dem Jahr 1970 entscheidet sich die Hauptfigur, die von Don Johnson gespielt wird, gegen sein Mädchen und für seinen Hund, der ihn immer treu begleitet. 27 Jahre vorher müssen sich zwei Westerner auch die Entscheidung treffen: Mädchen oder Pferd.
"The Outlaw" (deutscher Titel: Geächtet) ist ein US Westernfilm aus dem Jahr 1943, der von Howard Hughes gedreht wurde und in dem Jack Buetel, Jane Russell, Thomas Mitchell und Walter Huston die Hauptrollen spielen. Hughes produzierte den Film auch, wobei er den ursprünglichen Regisseur Howard Hawks ablöste und den ursprünglichen Kameramann Lucien Ballard durch Gregg Toland ersetzte. Der Film ist bemerkenswert, weil die damals 18jährige Jane Russell mit ihrer Rolle zum Sexsymbol und Hollywoodstar wurde. Die männlichen Figuren der Geschichte sind bekannt und gehören zum Westernmythos: William H. Bonney oder besser bekannt unter seinem Namen "Billy the Kid", sein Widersacher Pat Garrett und der genauso berühmt wie berüchtigte Doc Holliday. Und mitten unter diesen illustren Revolverheld ist das Mädchen Rio.
Sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell) heißt seinen Freund Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) in Lincoln, New Mexico willkommen. Doc sucht nach seinem gestohlenen Pferd und findet den geliebten Schimmel "Red" im Besitz von Billy the Kid (Jack Buetel), der sagt, er habe ihn von jemand anderem gekauft. Sie streiten sich darum, finden aber Gefallen aneinander, sehr zu Garretts Missfallen. Doc versucht noch spät in der Nacht, sein Pferd zurückzustehlen, aber Billy wartet und vereitelt seinen Plan. Billy beschließt dann, in der Scheune zu schlafen, wird jedoch beschossen. Er überwältigt seinen Hinterhaltsteller, die eigensinnige Rio McDonald (Jane Russell), Docs Geliebte. Sie will ihren von Billy getöteten Bruder rächen und versucht als nächstes diesen mit einer Mistgabel zu erstechen, aber er überwältigt sie und es kommt anschließend zu Zärtlichkeiten
Am nächsten Tag bietet ein Fremder an, Garrett in den Rücken zu schießen, während Kid den Gesetzeshüter ablenkt, aber Billy vermutet eine Falle und schießt den Mann in Notwehr nieder. Es gibt keine Zeugen und Garrett versucht, Billy festzunehmen, doch Doc ergreift Partei für Billy. Als die beiden versuchen zu gehen, schießt Garrett auf Billy. Doc schlägt Garrett das Gewehr aus der Hand, tötet zwei Polizisten und hält einen dritten auf. Doc flieht mit Billy zum Haus von Rio und ihrer Tante Guadalupe (Mimi Aguglia). Anstatt den bewusstlosen Kid zu töten, fühlt sich Rio nun zu ihm hingezogen und pflegt ihn im Laufe des nächsten Monats wieder gesund. Erneut kommt es zu extremer Nähe, als der kranke junge Kerl Schüttelfrost hat. Als Doc zurückkommt, hat sich Rio in Billy verliebt und behauptet ihn heimlich geheiratet zu haben. Doc ist wütend, dass Billy ihm seine Freundin weggenommen hat. Nachdem Doc sich beruhigt hat, stellt Kid ihn vor die Wahl: das Pferd oder Rio. Zu Billys Ärger entscheidet sich Doc für das Pferd. Wütend darüber, dass beide Männer das Tier ihr vorziehen, füllt Rio ihre Feldflaschen mit Sand. Die beiden Männer reiten zusammen davon. Sie werden von Garrett verfolgt. Die beiden Freunde vermuten, dass Rio den Sheriff informiert hat. Auf dem Weg zurück in die Stadt werden sie von feindseligen Mescaleros umzingelt....
Die schöne attraktive Frau wird von allen drei Männern nicht gerade gut behandelt. Sie ist gerade gut genug die Herrschaften zu bedienen, zu kochen und überhaupt gefällig zu sein, wenn der Herr der Schöpfung Lust auf sie hat. Diese Dynamik ist aus heutiger Sicht natürlich alles andere korrekt, aber im Vergleich zu den meisten Genreverwandten seiner Zeit zeigt er auch die sexuelle Anziehungskraft und den Geschlechterkampf anno 1880. Der Film kombiniert Sex und Gewalt mit der ironischen Demontage mythischer Westernfiguren.
Natürlich ist diese Geschichte für seine Zeit extrem freizügig und die prüden Kreise in Amerika versuchten natürlich auch ein Filmverbot zu erzwingen.
Nach der Veröffentlichung stufte die Legion of Decency den Film aufgrund seiner "Verherrlichung von Verbrechen und unmoralischen Handlungen“ und der "unanständigen“ Kostüme, die Jane Russells Kurven betonten als nicht akzeptabel ein. Das Verhalten der drei selbstherrlichen Männer wurde damals aber seltsamerweise nicht beanstandet, das Rollenbild für einen richtigen Mann war damals noch im Steinzeitmodus. Trotz der Verbote mauserte sich der Skandalwestern zum guten Geschäft mit einem Umsatz von 20 Millionen Dollar.

5.0 out of 5 stars TWO OUTLAWS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
Verified PurchaseAlthough Howard Hughes' 1941 RKO production, THE OUTLAW, is primarily remembered as being notorious for bringing sex to the western, it's still a largely underrated film. When watched with an honest eye, this is really one of the most offbeat, absorbing westerns of its time. Due to censorship problems, the film wasn't released until 1943 and ballyhooed as an "adult" western that focused on the ample charms of its star, Jane Russell.
The story centers around the relationships between four people: Billy the Kid (Jack Buetel), Doc Holiday (Walter Huston), Sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell) and Rio McDonald (Jane Russell). Basically, the plotline has Holiday trying to get back his horse which was stolen by the Kid. In the process, friendships are made and broken and loyalties are tested.
This was the screen debut for Buetel and Russell, and they both deliver engaging performances in what remains their most memorable film. Veteran character actors Huston and Mitchell are likewise excellent, as usual. There's a great chemistry between all of them, and although Hughes got the onscreen credit, at least some of the direction has to be attributed to an uncredited Howard Hawks, who had a special knack for "buddy" movies. The script by Jules Furtham is sprinkled with wry humor, and the photography by the great Greg Toland is exceptional.
While the sexual innuendo is tame by today's standards, THE OUTLAW can be better appreciated for its intimate character study and its romanticized depiction of the Old West and the legend of Billy the Kid. Even so, it must be acknowledged that Jane Russell still sizzles the screen, and figures prominently (pun intended) as a catalyst for the ups and downs in the relationship between Buetel and Huston. That cuckoo clock showdown between the two of them is one of my favorite scenes in a western.
Legend Films' Two-Disc Special Edition of THE OUTLAW finally does the film justice with both a restored and enhanced black and white version as well as a colorized one. I've gone through several copies from different distributors, and this edition from Legend is by far the best. Of course, I prefer the original black and white which is outstanding here, but I have to say the color is pretty darn good, and gives the movie a vintage, '40s Technicolor look. The second disc is the movie again with a picture-in-picture video commentary by Jane Russell and Terry Moore in which they relate insights and anecdotes about Howard Hughes, Howard Hawks, Jack Buetel, Walter Huston, Thomas Mitchell and the making of the film.
THE OUTLAW is a great classic, and this very affordable DVD set fin
ally gives us the most complete, pristine presentation available on home video. Highly recommended.
UPDATE: March 7, 2018
If you are a fan of THE OUTLAW (as I am), then you will definitely want to pick up the excellent new Blu-ray from Kino Lorber. While the transfer is not exactly pristine, the improvement over the above DVD is noticeable enough, displaying a pleasing, filmic look without any DNR scrubbing. Greg Toland's rich, deep focus cinematography benefits from the HD boost, and one can better appreciate finer details in the image. The audio commentary by Troy Howarth is quite informative regarding the film's production and huge promotional campaign. The original trailer is also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Censorship has changed over the years
Verified PurchaseThis movie couldn’t get us certificate to get out because too much sex. And that too much sex was Jane Russell cleavage. I wonder what they were thinking people would do if they saw it. But nowadays, this movie is tame compared to some of the things you see on television. But it’s a movie worth seeing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Feines Teil
Verified PurchaseAlso ich kann die teils sehr miesen Kritiken nicht verstehen. Mir gefällt der Film richtig gut und ich finde für diesen geringen Preis bekommt man echt viel geboten! Außerdem sollte man an Filme die gut 80!Jahre auf dem Buckel haben nicht zu hohe Ansprüche stellen-dann ist man auch nicht enttäuscht!
Fazit:zu DEM Preis sollte jeder Western an zugreifen!
