Highly Recommended It’s a shame that Jesse James (1939), Fox’s big Technicolor Western starring Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, and Randolph Scott, is remembered for its historical inaccuracies and for one notorious scene of alleged animal abuse than for the movie itself. That’s because the movie, for the most part, is excellent, in some respects way ahead of its time
