"They held up 'The Outlaw' for five years. And Howard Hughes had me doing publicity for it every day, five days a week for five years"

This quote by Jane Russell talks to the long and arduous journey of the film "The Outlaw" and the dedication of its manufacturer, Howard Hughes. The film was held up for five years, and during that time, Hughes had Russell doing publicity for it every day, 5 days a week. This speaks with the commitment of Hughes to the film, and the devotion of Russell to her work. It also talks to the trouble of getting a movie made in the 1940s, when the Hollywood Production Code remained in full result. The truth that Hughes and Russell were able to get the movie made and launched is a testimony to their hard work and devotion. It also talks to the power of the movie industry, and how it can shape the public's understanding of a film.
