Jesse James
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

Jesse James as a gallant populist hero, fighting the railroads on behalf of the oppressed--which was pretty strong stuff for a staunchly Republican studio like 20th Century-Fox (1939). Henry King directed, in the rustic Technicolor style that was his strong suit, though the action is perhaps too sluggish to satisfy genre fans. With Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Randolph Scott, and Nancy Kelly.
