(6,339 posts)1. My favorite bit of trivia about The Outlaw (1943)
From IMDB:
Once they'd found Jane Russell, Howard Hughes and his aircraft engineers designed a special cantilevered bra to enhance the appearance of her bust. She never wore it, but this movie was the reason the famous bra was designed.

Criterion's write-up:

One observation about the casting: I think it was Leonard Maltin who wrote that Alec Guinness and John Mills are both cast against type.
