I Shot Jesse James / U.S.A. / 1949

Maybe I was expecting too much (the heights of Fixed Bayonets! or Pickup on South Street), but I was left disappointed with my first viewing of this. Fuller’s sympathetic and heavily psychological take on Bob Ford is an interesting one, but it’s let down by an overly wordy script and a poor female lead — and the famous fist-to-the-camera shot turns out to be an anomaly, standing out from the stolid style of the rest of the film.
