The Great Jesse James Raid (1953)


Lippert Pictures
Directed by Reginald Le Borg
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Jesse James is retired and living under an assumed named in St. Joe. An old friend convinces him to put together a gang for one more heist that will allow him to retire in obscurity. The first half of the film is the gathering of the gang. They intend to rob a gold mine by using an abandoned tunnel. The heist is the rest of the film. Of course it doesn't go as planned and the ending is anticlimactic. Filmed in that weird AnscoColor.
