Review of I Shot Jesse James (1949) by Donovan D — 26 Sep 2007
Wonderfully entertaining old B-western about Robert Ford, an outlaw who shot his best friend Jesse James in the back in exchange for amnesty, and how the murder haunted him for the rest of his life. Hokey at times but solidly crafted, and remarkably engaging.
A good mix of psychological drama and western gunslinging - raising it above your typical throwaway B-movie.
