Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) meets the notorious Billy the Kid (Jack Beutel), who has stolen his horse. Doc's old friend Pat Garrett, now a sheriff, wants to arrest the Kid for murder, but Doc helps his young friend flee to a hideout, where Billy meets Rio (Jane Russell), a beautiful young woman who soon finds herself falling in love with him. As Doc and Billy try to evade the law, they run into a series of adventures involving Indians and gunfights, culminating in a fierce showdown. Under the control of director/ producer Howard Hughes, THE OUTLAW became both a classic Western and a tribute to the charms of its leading lady, 19-year-old Jane Russell, whose cleavage was featured prominently in the film's publicity. As a result, THE OUTLAW became one of the most controversial films of the 1940s, leading to a protracted battle with censors that only added to the film's allure. The story of Pat Garrett, Doc Holliday, and Billy the Kid sharply veers from historical reality but the result is a fun and engaging classic that stands out from other Westerns of the era.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingJewel Case

As he travels westward with his adorable daughter, Lassiter comes upon two distraught women who have just survived a violent assault by Native Americans. As he attempts to guide them safely to their ultimate destinations, more trouble ensues, and the run-ins with Indian tribes build to a chaotic massacre.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Mono - English Subtitles - English - Optional Subtitles - French - Optional Subtitles - Spanish - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

One of Robert Mitchum`s first starring roles, this classic Western sees the star filling in for Tim Holt, who was fighting in WWII. Holt`s sidekick Chito (Richard Martin) was assigned to Mitchum, who plays Jim
Nevada
Lacy. The pair has just won $7000 gambling, and makes a run for it, pursued by the casino`s owners. Meanwhile, wealthy investor Ben Ide is on his way out West to buy $7000 worth of mining equipment, but is murdered en route by Cash Burridge (Craig Reynolds), and robbed of his money. Unfortunately for Nevada, he stumbles upon the body, and is discovered just as he is inspecting it; the fact that he is in possession of 7000
yellowbacks
further corroborates his guilt. Now, Nevada must clear his name fast, before Burridge succeeds in his efforts to get the townspeople to lynch him! Displaying many tropes of the genre, such as a moralistic ending, back projection, and a hero impervious to bullets, this is a classic example of the early days of B-movie Westerns.
