THE OUTLAW:
Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was released to only a limited showing two years later. It did not see a general release until 1946. The delay was a result of Hughes defying the Hays Code, which set the standard of morally acceptable content in motion pictures. By showcasing Jane Russell's breasts in both the movie and the poster artwork, The Outlaw became one of the most controversial pictures of its time. Hughes even created a new type of bra just for this movie.

Could it be: "The Dolly Sisters" from 1945!?!?
In 1904, Uncle Latsie comes to New York from Hungary with two little nieces, who immediately take to cafe dancing. In 1912 they're still at it, but to pay Uncle's card debts they decide to go into vaudeville. Singer Harry Fox, whom they meet en route, schemes to get them an audition with the great Hammerstein; but their resulting success takes them far out of Harry's league. Lots of songs with a little story
Stars:
Betty Grable
June Haver

Overrated: To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.
It's discussion on "Greta Garbo". I thnik everyone has an opinion on 1 actress/actor to another! To bad, so sad that someone doesn't like Greta! Get over it! This is just stupid! The 2 actresses I never liked were Great Garbo & Katherine Hepburn (Which I stated)! Does this make me a bad person? No! I'm a film buff! & "in" my opinion there were certain actress that got mroe coverage etc. than they deserved! I have sat through most of Greta's films, & I never really sat there & went "WOW!" like some other actress I have seen on screen.
Actress that I have sat up & went "Who is that"!! Then went out & rented as many of there films I could find, read anything and everything I could on them, researched there careers as much as I could were Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Vincent Price to name a few!
Greta was beautiful! Man that "FACE"! But as an actress she never had "IT"!!!
(IT is: unlike anything I've ever seen before...the unrestrained id of an artist at full frenzy, unafraid to mount onscreen what others would judiciously edit )
Here is something form a Garbo BIO I have: (Things U may NOT know)!!!
When she was filmed, if something happened that she was not pleased with she would say, "I think I'll go back to Sweden!" This would frighten the movie studio heads, who gave in to her every wish. She was known for always having a closed set to all visitors, and was famous for having various MGM executives and actors ejected from sets. No one could watch as her scenes were shot! She then had a contract dispute with MGM and did not appear on the screen for almost two years!
They finally settled and she signed a new contract, which granted her almost total control over her movies!! She exercised that control by getting her leading man in "Queen Christina" (1933), Laurence Olivier, replaced with John Gilbert.
Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for: "Anna Christie" (1930), "Romance" (1930), "Camille" (1937) and "Ninotchka" (1939). 4 Times!! NIce!
It is often reported that Garbo chose to retire from cinema after the failure of " Two-Faced Woman" which was , directed by George Cukor. Two-Faced Woman" was a critical (though not commercial) failure. It was Garbo's last screen appearance!
Except at the very beginning of her career, she granted no interviews, signed no autographs, attended no premieres, and answered no fan mail.
Mysterious ...Yes!! Intersting...Yes! fascinating ..Yes!! Great actress..umm NO!

I thought the film was actually called:
"Three Godfathers" from 1948
Three outlaws on the run discover a dying woman and her baby. They swear to bring the infant to safety across the desert, even at the risk of their own lives.
Starring:
John Wayne
Harry Carey Jr.
Pedro Armend?riz
Just before Christmas, three workaday outlaws (John Wayne, Pedro Armend?riz, Harry Carey Jr.) rob a bank in Welcome, Arizona, and flee into the desert. The canny town marshal (Ward Bond) moves swiftly to cut them off from the wells along their escape route, so they make for another, deep in the wasteland. There's no water waiting for them, but there is a woman (Mildred Natwick) on the verge of death--and also of giving birth. The three badmen accept her dying commission as godfathers to the newborn. Motley variants of the Three Wise Men, they strike out for the town of New Jerusalem with her Bible as roadmap. It becomes increasingly apparent that saving the child's life will cost them their own.
The film concludes on Christmas Eve!
Robert nearly loses hope and his two friends (the baby's Godfathers) come back to him in the form of spirits to give Robert the moral boost he needs to continue to New Jerusalem. He finally arrives there, and in a cantina people are singing Christmas carols

Veronica Lake!! She is most notable for her femme fatale roles in film noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s, as well as her iconic hairstyle.

What is funny, I know you the got answer already but in the credit's he is listed as following:
(White Heat )
Jim Thorpe ... Big inmate (uncredited) , & yes he is a renowned Native American athlete who excelled in the 1912 Olympic games
He was portrayed by Burt Lancaster in the film Jim Thorpe -- All-American (1951).

Sooooooooo does anyone know where I can find a copy of her Oscar Speech!?!?!
-
Is this a "Bootleg" copy??
Because after alot of research (Ebay, Amazon.com etc.) "Song of the South" is NOT officially available on DVD. Any DVDs or VCDs of Song of the South you may see for sale on the internet are illegal bootleg copies. (Yes, even the fake "Disneyland Paris" one.)
You cannot find this movie anywhere because after "Song of the South"'s last theatrical release in 1986, Disney decided not to re-release it again, most likely because of the movie's "racial" stigma (although there are no documented complaints stemming from the movie's 1986 theatrical release.) The movie has been released on video and laserdisc in various foreign countries, but never in the United States. As of December 2001, "Song of the South" was withdrawn worldwide.

Ok after much research (Going from website to website, James Bond documentry to the next)
what I did find was this:
Pierce Brosnan's mother moved to London, England for work, after his father had abandoned the family, and in 1964, at the age of eleven, Brosnan joined his mother on August 12, 1964, the very day of Ian Fleming's death!!!
Does this help!?!

The film was called: "Above Suspicion" from MGM in 1943!
Directed by Richard Thorpe.
Joan stars with Fred MacMurray as newlywed "Frances Myles," drafted by the British Secret Service to spy on the Nazis. This was Joan's last MGM contract picture.
Love Joan Crawford!!!
Sadly this film out of print on VHS, & no DVD plans!!

Good ensemble acting, a sometimes laugh out loud screenplay...great music and staging and a solid performance by John C. Reilly are all good reasons to see Walk Hard
