Vintage studio still photograph from the 1949 re-release of the 1943 film. Fictionalized versions of Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday fight over the attentions of a feisty young woman. Director Howard Hughes fought with Production Code Administration head Joseph Breen for two years, primarily over how much of Jane Russell's cleavage was allowed to be visible, before Hughes agreed to a small number of cuts. After a brief run in San Francisco drew protests over the film's suggestive content and advertising, the film was withdrawn. It wouldn't see a wide release until 1946, where despite still being subject to censorship by local film boards, and a lawsuit over censors withdrawing their approval, it became a tremendous box office success, finally launching Russell's acting career. Set in New Mexico, shot on location in New Mexico, Arizona, and California. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema.
