That superb chronicler of youthful disaffection, director Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause, They Live by Night), brings us the ultimate rebel in 1957 Western The True Story of Jesse James.

Robert Wagner (TV’s It Takes a Thief) stars as the notorious outlaw, Jeffrey Hunter (The Last Hurrah) as brother Frank, Hope Lange (The Best of Everything) as wife Zee, and Agnes Moorehead (Who’s Minding the Store?) as Mother James. Shot in CinemaScope by the one and only Joseph MacDonald (My Darling Clementine).
