"The Outlaw" [United Artists Feb 1943]
![classic publicity photo of Jane Russell for "The Outlaw" [1943]](covers/pHRHoutlawAP.jpg) |
Gunfighter Doc Holliday arrives in Lincoln, New Mexico, looking for his stolen horse. Sheriff Pat Garrett finds it in the possession of cowboy outlaw Billy The Kid. Doc and Billy become friends, the sheriff wounds Billy, and Doc asks his girlfriend Rio to hide Billy. Romance ensues, Billy assumes possession of both the girl and the horse, and the final showdown is expectedly tragic (and non-historical).
