By today's standards the film is naive and amateurish, but in 1943, it was one of the most scandalous features Hollywood has made due to Howard Hughes brilliant campaign to exploit Jane Russell's buxum. Jun 22, 2011 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Stagey, not that well written, acted or directed (by Howard Hughes) western. More infamous than good. Mar 2, 2008 | Rating: 3/5

The film would be G-rated today, but at the time, that hint of skin was enough to send people scampering for a little water to put on their brow. Jan 27, 2005 | Rating: 3/5

Surprisingly, this minor, off-beat western didn't turn out that bad. Feb 3, 2004 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Howard Hughes' long-awaited celluloid interpretation of the life, love and legend of Billy the Kid approaches its chore of chronicling with more regard to historical authenticity than most of the countless predecessors of similar theme. Jun 5, 2002 | Full Review…
Howard Hughes' long-awaited celluloid interpretation of the life, love and legend of Billy the Kid approaches its chore of chronicling with more regard to historical authenticity than most of the countless predecessors of similar theme.
There's Billy the Kid in this story. Doc Holiday's in it too. Think they'll duke it out or maybe a lowdown showdown shootout between two infamous fast guns? That anticipation is the given reason for you hanging around, the justification. But the show is really about Russell's, umm, well, perhaps I've already said it. Howard Hughes does a okay Western, but first let's get 'em in the seats, yah, and that's up to Russell. I don't think ol'Howard was all that crazy.

Infamous western is really not very good with several obviously rear projection scenes really taking you out of the movie. Fictional story of Billy the Kid is troubled in many places perhaps the biggest is Buetel a blank faced black hole at the center of the film. Even the usually great Huston and Thomas Mitchell give weak hammy performances and Jane Russell while extremely lush and fresh had not yet learned how to act in front of the camera but does exude presence and charisma missing from the rest of the film. It's overlong to boot!
Magnifisent sizzling Western with one of the worlds most beautiful screen sirens ever to grace the limelight.
Tacky and didn't hold my attention. I guess it would have been thrilling in the 40's, but not now...
