0 out of 1 found this review helpful
With his gun a-blazing : he galloped out of the Ozarks and into the page of American folk history : Jesse James (1847 - 1882) , the bold bandit whose name became synonymous with train hold-ups , dayligt bank heits and every other aredecil crime associated with the lawaless west of the 1800s !. Tyrone Power (1914-1958) , the movie's most popular leading man in 1939 , stars as Jesse James , a young missouri farmer forced outside the law after ruthless agent ( Brian Donlevy 1901-1972) for the coming transcontinental railroad agent kill his ailling mother and steal his family land . Together with brother Frank James (1843-1915) played by Henry Fonda (1905-1982) , Jesse James forms a gang of masked outlaws to strike back at the railroad company and the banks that have joined forced to swindle the oppressed farmers . Shot in Technicolor on location in the ozarks where the real-life robbers rode . Jesse James explodes with drama action and frontier desperate spirit . High Quality Transfer .
 Hollywood Biography June 23, 2007
After the Civil War the transcontinental railroads were built to link the West with the East. The film shows how railroad agents swindled people to sign over their land for a low price. If they didn't sell their land would be taken from them (eminent domain?). [The film omits the fact that the James brothers rode with William Quantrill's Raiders.] Jesse James calls for a meeting with the other farm owners. They will get a lawyer to defend them. But the railroad agents swear out a complaint and get deputized to eliminate the James problem. The film shows the bombing of the James home and the death of their mother. Jesse James takes revenge on the railroad agent, and becomes a wanted man. [St. Louis was pro-Union, the rural regions were mostly pro-Confederate.]br /br /The St. Louis Midland Railroad is drawn by a classic 4-4-0 locomotive, but the coaches are more modern. A lone rider hops onto the last car and gets to halt the train. A gang robs the passengers in the coaches. [The James gang invented train robbery, but they never applied for a patent.] Civilization has brought lawyers to the county, and a newspaper owner rants against them. [In fact lawyers were among the earliest pioneers, they handled deeds, loans, and other legal work.] Jesse is warned about the path he's taken; killing and robbing will make him mean. Jesse marries Zerelda and surrenders to the US Marshal. But Jesse is double-crossed, the railroad owner gets martial law declared and a new judge will hang Jesse. Frank arranges to break Jesse out of jail. They are chased and throw out dollars that stops their pursuers so they can escape. Jesse and Zerelda are moving from town to town. [There is a hint as to Jesse's occupation.]br /br /Jesse and Zerelda have a son. Zee returns to her home town. The governor offers an amnesty to anyone who will kill Jesse James, plus the reward. The planning for the Northfield bank job shows Jesse's mean streak. He is also taking too many risks. [This film creates the fiction that the Northfield bank got a warning so they prepared an ambush. The truth is that the well-armed citizens had no warning until somebody was shot by the bank.] The rapidly armed citizens greatly outnumbered the James gang and ended their robberies. Jesse James would never rob another bank. Bob Ford visited Jesse to tell about an easy bank job. The children's playing foretells the ending. [There is no mention of the Younger brothers.]br /

......the first thing we gotta do is take all the lawyers and shoot 'em down like dogs!" br /br /"Jesse James" starring Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda has been a DVD on my short list of "must-haves" for a number of years. And, it was worth the wait! The audio and video quality, as well as the packaging are wonderful. This is one of those special motion picture jewels from 1939 - It truly was a VERY GOOD year - the year many call the Golden Year of Hollywood. But this movie has often been lost in the accolades heaped upon the others - "The Wizard of OZ", "King Kong", and "Gone With the Wind" - just to name a few. The performances here are top notch, which is a given for the stars (Power Fonda), but is reinforced by the incredible supporting cast, most notably including Randolph Scott, Brian Donlevy, Nancy Kelly and John Carradine (as the "coward" who shot Mr. Howard). But the star among stars here is Henry Hull. The sheer fun of his tongue-in-cheek performance as the curmugeon newspaper editor, who is always chomping at the bit to dictate his next scathing editorial, should not be missed. A must see for young and old alike - a classic that truly stands the test of time.

The film Jesse James is a superb Hollywood story of the folklore view of Jesse James. The transfer to DVD is sadly lacking in many respects. Colors are not enhanced, it is too dark in many spots, and the images are doubled in some instances. My VHS copy is better than the DVD. But this movie still remains the best of the Jesse James movies, simply due to such fine actors as Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda. Randolph Scott and Henry Hull have excellent, scene-stealing support roles.
