Review of Jesse James (1939) by Orlok W — 13 Apr 2013
Rousing rendition of the Jesse and Frank James legend, with Power and Fonda both strong on the leads. Entertaining flick renown for its dangerous stunts (one of which killed a horse - leading to stricter regulations on-set).
The first of many to follow about the James boys, this one highly sympathetic and romantic. A fun film that later produced a sequel for Fonda.
