Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough the film portrays the Jameses sympathetically, and ends with Bob Ford killing Jesse, because the James brothers were criminals themselves, bank robbers and murderers, Ford committed no crime and the film did not run afoul of the Motion Picture Production Code's edict that crimes must always be punished.
- GoofsWhen one of the James brothers asked the bartender to pour him a beer, the beer glass was completely full of foam but when the bartender slid it down the bar it was full of beer with a slight head.

Featured review
Ward Bond gets mean!
The story of the James and Younger gang has been filmed often. This lesser-known version is a minor gem. It offers a powerhouse performance by Ward Bond as Major Trowbridge, a vindictive officer whose grudge against the James family and their allies escalated to his going private, obtaining railroad and bank contracts to fund his relentless pursuit of Jesse and Frank. Later in a great scene, his scathing assault on his failing subordinates is a side of Bond rarely seen. Carey and Corey as Jesse and Frank handled their roles smoothly. They had a fine director in Gordon Douglas (Rio Conchos). Anne Revere who endeared herself in many 'mom' screen roles was really at home here and Buchanan as her second husband, a caring and sober man was agreeably cast against type. Ellen Drew and Lois Chartrand are the love interests in brief segments. The key to this film is action—fast chases and raging gun battles superbly filmed by Ray Rennahan. There's no comic relief. If you want action, here it is.
