Jack Buetel as Billy the Kid and Jane Russell as Rio made their film debuts in The Outlaw (1943), directed by Howard Hughes after Howard Hawks left after a week or two to direct Sergeant York. There’s no telling what the finished product would have been like if Hawks completed the film. As it stands, there are only a couple of memorable scenes with Jane in an otherwise mediocre western.

Paid to Love
screencap from Paid to Love (1927) indicative of how Howard Hawks’ silent films are in desperate need of restoration, but the situation may be hopeless as better prints may simply be lost.

Prizefighter and the Lady
The back of this publicity still reads
MAX BAER….the screen’s newest romantic lover, and his leading lady, Myrna Loy, as they appear in Max’s film debut, “The Prizefighter and the Lady,” now in production at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Howard Hawks developed the story for Clark Gable and Jean Harlow but MGM executives had other plans.
