DAYS OF JESSE JAMES

Cinemavixion Review

Joseph Kane's "Days of Jesse James" offers a refreshing twist on the familiar Western legend, casting the ever-popular Roy Rogers in a role where he plays himself, tasked with bringing the notorious Jesse James to justice. However, Rogers soon uncovers a conspiracy, revealing that James has been framed for a bank robbery orchestrated by the bank's owner himself. This narrative departure, coupled with Rogers's signature blend of action and musical performances, provides a fast-paced and engaging viewing experience. The film, directed by Kane, known for his work on "Dakota," also features a strong supporting cast including George 'Gabby' Hayes and Don 'Red' Barry. While perhaps not a groundbreaking cinematic achievement, "Days of Jesse James" stands as a solid entry in the Roy Rogers western canon, offering a fun, song-filled adventure that appeals to fans of classic Westerns.
