Movie synopsis
After a detour into dramas such as REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, director Nicholas Ray returned to the Western genre with THE TRUE STORY OF JESSE JAMES. Robert Wagner (HART TO HART) starred as the title outlaw in this biopic that explored the man's origins as a criminal. Jeffrey Hunter strayed far from what would be his famous role as Jesus in KING OF KINGS to play fellow lawbreaker Frank James, with Hope Lange and Agnes Moorehead costarring as the most important women in James's life.

Excellent Presentation!

I loved this movie and was delighted to get it on DVD. This DVD was beautifully presented - artwork was great, especially appreciated was the informative leaflet inside. I did not know the directors choice of Jesse James was Elvis, but I am awfully glad he ended up with Robert Wagner who gives a terrific performance! This film was innovative at the time, and not your typical western. It manages to portray a man who was both complex and violent, but still elicit's sympathy for the character. The extra features were much appreciated too.
