The Outlaw (Howard Hughes, 1943) Cast: Jack Buetel, Jane Russell, Thomas Mitchell, Walter Huston, Mimi Aguglia, Joe Sawyer, Gene Rizzi. Screenplay: Jules Furthman. Cinematography: Gregg Toland. Art direction: Perry Ferguson. Film editing: Wallace Grissell. Music: Victor Young. Any list of great bad movies that doesn't include The Outlaw is not to be trusted. Because it is certainly bad, with a callow performance by Jack Buetel as Billy the Kid, a one-note (sultry pouting) performance by Jane Russell as Rio, and disappointing ones from old pros Thomas Mitchell and Walter Huston. It's ineptly directed by Howard Hughes, with awkward blocking and an abundance of scenes that don't go much of anywhere. It was weakened by Hughes's battles with the censors over Russell's cleavage and over the sexual innuendos -- an inept explanation that Rio and Billy were married while he was in a coma serves to legitimate the fact that they are sleeping together after he revives. It also implies that Billy rapes Rio, but she falls in love with him anyway. It's laden with a gay subtext, suggesting that Pat Garrett and Doc Holliday are in love with Billy -- and with each other. It's full of Western clichés and one of the corniest music tracks ever provided by a major film composer: Victor Young shamelessly borrows a theme from Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 as a love motif for Rio and Billy, falls back on "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" at dramatic moments, and "mickey mouses" a lot of the action, including bassoons and "wah-wah" sounds from the trumpets to punch up comic moments. And yet, it's kind of a great bad movie for all of these reasons, and because it reflects its producer-director's megalomania, resulting in countless stories about his behind-the-scenes manipulation, his hyped-up "talent search" for stars that produced Russell (who became one) and Buetel (who didn't), and most famously, his use of his engineering talents to construct a brassiere for Russell that would perk up her breasts the way he wanted. (Russell apparently found it so uncomfortable that she secretly ditched it and adjusted her own bra to his specifications.)

San Francisco, 1943.  Howard Hughes’ THE OUTLAW starring his latest discovery, Jane Russell, premieres and the lines form.   The film would be in and out of release in select cities  from 1943 all the way until it’s general release in 1950.   It would break box office records where ever it played.  It co-starred, Jack Buetel as Billy The Kid, Thomas Mitchell as Pat Garrett and Walter Houston (John’s father) as Doc Holliday.  This movie was supposed to be directed by another Howard, Howard Hawks.  After disagreements with Hughes, Hawks left the production after only a few weeks of filming.   Hughes decided he would take over the reigns as director.   What should have been a 4 to 6 week shoot, took longer than 8 months and years of editing and re-editing.

Massachusetts native Gaspar Griswold Bacon, Jr., born in 1914, was the scion of a politically powerful family. His father served on the board of Harvard University before his election as president of the state senate (1929-32) and lieutenant governor (1933-35). Gaspar Jr. summered with his friends on Cape Cod, where he joined a theatre troupe called the 'University Players,' including then unknown actors Henry Fonda and James Stewart. While they advanced to Hollywood stardom, success eluded Bacon, reducing him to the role of  a gigolo in New York City. Later, as 'David' Bacon, he moved to Los Angeles and married Austrian singer Greta Keller. Years later, Keller revealed that Bacon was gay and she was a lesbian, their masquerade marriage contrived to advance careers in Hollywood.

Bacon met billionaire Howard Hughes in 1942 and signed a contract to portray Billy the kid in a forthcoming Western, The Outlaw, which Hughes was producing. Before filming began, Hughes replaced Bacon with actor Jack Buetel, but Hughes still held Bacon to his exclusive contract, casting him in smaller roles for six films during 1942-43. Greta Keller subsequently claimed Bacon engaged in a homosexual affair with Hughes, which led to his replacement in The Outlaw, but no Hughes biographer to date has found any evidence supporting that allegation. 

On September 13, 1943, Bacon crashed his car against a curb in Santa Monica, California, hen staggered from the vehicle and collapsed. Bystanders found him  wearing only a swimsuit, with a knife protruding from his back. Its blade had pierced a lung, delivering a fatal wound. Greta Keller who was eight months pregnant when the murder occurred delivered a stillborn child and soon returned to Europe, where she pursued an active singing career until her death in November 1977, at age 74.

Police found a wallet and a camera in Bacon's car after the crash. The wallet's owner remains unidentified, and the camera's film contained only one image of Bacon nude and smiling, but despite persistent rumours of gay affairs with Howard Hughes and various actors, no suspect was ever named/ Bacon's best known Hollywood production, the Masked Marvel serial, premiered two months after his death, on November 6, 1943.

Best of the Badmen *** (1951, Robert Ryan, Claire Trevor, Jack Buetel, Robert Preston, Walter Brennan)

Director William D Russell’s bracing 1951 RKO Technicolor Western film Best of the Badmen stars Robert Ryan as Union officer Major Jeff Clanton, who clashes with unscrupulous detective Matthew Fowler (Robert Preston), head of a corrupt detective agency, over the capture of a famous group of outlaws, survivors of Quantrill’s Raiders.

Best of the Badmen is often too static and always way too…
