Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of the recent 2K restoration of director Howard Hughes' film
The Outlaw (1943), starring Jane Russell, Jack Buetel, Thomas Mitchell, Walter Huston, and Joe Sawyer. The release is expected to arrive on the market in early 2018.
Synopsis: 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.
*The 2K restoration of The Outlaws was completed by Lobster Films. (Other notable restorations from the French company include Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon, Harry O. Hoyt's The Lost World, and Marcel L'Herbier's L'Inhumaine).
