Well I finally got to see this on DVD the other day, after waiting years to see it. The True Story of Jesse James is a great psychological western. You could tell that the budget wasn't very high, but this was compensated for by some wonderful character moments.
Unlike what had been listed on this site for months before its release, this DVD is in widescreen. I'm glad that the earlier info on here was a misprint (listing it as full screen), because there is some really great widescreen composition in this film. Check this DVD out if you're a fan of psychological westerns or the work of director Nicholas Ray. Kudos to Fox for releasing this film, and I hope that eventually they release Nicholas Ray's best directed Fox film, Bigger Than Life.

According to IMDB Technical Specifications, this film was shot at aspect ratio 2.35:1 which is widescreen - if IMDB is correct, why is 20th Century Fox Pan&Scanning it into FULL SCREEN academy aspect ratio 1.33:1?
Maybe the FULL SCREEN description is incorrect but I think I'll wait to see what other reviewers say before I purchase.
I, too, am a Nicholas Ray fan.

Essentially a remake of the film "Jesse James", this version has a fine cast. Robert Wagner and Jeffrey Hunter portray Jesse and Frank. In comparision, it is hard to fill the shoes of Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda, but the leads do well. Supporting cast Includes Hope Lang , Agnes Moorehead and Alan Hale. Look for John Carradine who was in the original. A good turn by Nicholas Ray make this a good bet to see.
