The True Story Of Jesse James
The True Story Of Jesse James DVD VIDEO MOVIE western outlaw! 1957 Robert Wagner Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: Fox Released: 2013 Media: DVD True Story of Jesse James, The [DVD]An account of the last eighteen years in the life of the notorious bank and train robber, Jesse James, and his brother and partner-in-crime, Frank.The best thing about this take on the celebrated Missouri outlaw is Nicholas Ray's dynamic use of CinemaScope, a format that left most mid-'50s directors flatfooted. Ray composes his action in slashing diagonals, over multi-leveled ground, with sectors of the wide screen defined by frames-within-the-frame and different qualities of light and color. Which is to say, he continues the radical experimentation of his 1955 James Dean classic Rebel Without a Cause while attempting to develop a fresh, contemporary perspective on another violent young protagonist who's an outsider in his own society.Nunnally Johnson's script for 20th Century-Fox's 1939 Jesse James
