This is an advertisement for the film Outlaw” featuring actress Jane Russell. The 1943 American Western film was her first feature role and one that immediately launched her career as a Hollywood icon and actress. “Outlaw” was one of many Western films from the time. Howard Hughes was on the brink of losing the millions invested in the film when the Production Administration refused to release it due to its content. As a result, Hughes schemed to create demand for the film through controversy; he had his managers contact housewives and ministers to tell them about the lewd content of the film. Eventually, the public protested to get the film banned, which lead to enough publicity for a one-week screening in 1943. The film was eventually released in 1946 and was a box office success. “
