The Technicolor cinematography is truly stunning (a standout sequence features a silhouette of Jesse running along the tops of train cars with unaware passengers lit below), and the location shooting in Missouri adds to the film&#8217;s overall feel of authenticity. However, while the female romantic lead (Kelly, giving a strong performance) helps us sympathize with Jesse, we don&#8217;t really get enough of a sense of who Jesse or his brother were, or why they persist in a life of crime long beyond seeking vengeance on Meek (played as a caricature of a sniveling baddie); meanwhile, Scott&#8217;s supporting character is badly underdeveloped. This film was followed immediately by a sequel &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=4696\"><em>The Return of Frank James<\/em> (1940)<\/a> &#8212; starring many of the same actors (including John Carradine as the &#8220;coward&#8221; who shot Jesse in the back), but directed by Fritz Lang.
