This Day in History –
November 4, 1946
One of Hollywood 's most
infamous films finally shows up in Vancouver ,
five years after it was finished
JOHN MACKIE
THE VANCOUVER
SUN
Howard
Hughes completed his film The Outlaw in February, 1941. But it didn't show up
in Vancouver
for over five years, and even then faced a last-
PNG FILES
Movie star Jane Russell's ample breasts,
on display in the film The Outlaw,
offended censors.
|
minute hurdle before it could be screened.
"The
decision as to whether or not Vancouver
film audiences will see bountiful Jane Russell in The Outlaw will be made at 4
p.m. today by a grain exporter, a housewife, and a newspaper columnist,"
reported The Vancouver Sun 67 years ago.
"They
are members of the B.C. Court of Appeal, the highest court of motion picture
censorship. The film has been submitted to the board by United Artists after the
Board of Censors withdrew its approval of the film 36 hours before it was
scheduled to open at the Vogue Theatre"
The Outlaw
had been in trouble with censors for years. Jane Russell had large breasts, and
Hughes was deter-mined to show as much of them as possible.
His cleavage
shots seem fairly tame today, but at the time, censor Joseph Breen of the
Production Code Administration was shocked.
The Turner
Classic Movies website notes that in a March 1941 memo, Breen said "in my
more than ten years of critical examination of motion pictures, I have never
seen anything quite so unacceptable as the shots of the breasts of the
character (Jane Russell plays). ...Throughout almost half the picture the
girl's breasts, which are quite large and prominent, are shockingly
emphasized"
Breen
refused to issue the certificate that would allow the film to be screened.
Hughes made
some cuts to the film and lit got past the censors to screen in San Francisco on Feb. 5,
1943.
Billboards
went up around the city showing a Sultry Russell reclining in the hay with a
gun in her hand. Some billboards read "The Picture That Couldn't Be
Stopped!" Others asked "How would you like to tussle with
Russell?"
Protests
ensued and the billboards were removed, but the "bosom art" had done
the trick, as The Outlaw became a hit in San
Francisco .
Censorship
troubles continued to dog the movie, which is why it didn't show up in Vancouver until 1946.
The B.C.
censors wound up approving the movie and it opened at the Vogue. So The Sun
dispatched reporter Pierre Berton to see what all the fuss was about.
"I saw
the controversial film The Outlaw this morning;" Berton wrote, "and
the only thing bad about it was Miss Jane Russell's acting."
Russell
went on to star in hits like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with Marilyn Monroe and
The Paleface with Bob Hope. But she continued to be known for the Outlaw
controversy, as well as her physical assets. Hope once introduced her as
"the two and only Miss Russell"
