The Outlaw (1943)

5.4

Plot: In the Nineteenth Century, in the town of Lincoln, New Mexico, the sheriff Pat Garrett welcomes his old friend, Doc Holliday, who has had his horse Red stolen by a stranger while coming to the town. They meet the thieve and realize that the guy is the gunman Billy the Kid. Doc becomes friend of Billy, but Pat invites them to leave Lincoln in the afternoon. There is an incident, Pat wounds Billy the Kid, and Doc asks his girlfriend Rio McDonald to take care of Billy while he would misguide Pat Garret t and his officers. There is a romance between Billy the Kid and Rio, and when the hit-man is healed, he disputes with Doc the possession of Red and Rio, with Pat Garrett chasing them. On 13 July 1881, this hunting ends in a tragic way.

Alternative Plot: The life of legendary outlaw Billy the Kid, including his partnership with Doc Holliday and his clashes with lawman Pat Garrett. The film was notorious in its day because of producer/director Howard Hughes concentration on newcomer Jane Russell's cleavage, and national release in America was delayed by some years.
