| |  | Lang's First "Western Noir" |  |
In 1940, Darryl Zanuck gave Fritz Lang the opportunity to shoot his first Western - a sequel to director Henry King's "Jesse James" (1939). When asked why he allowed Lang to make a Western, the Fox producer responded: "Because he'll see things we don't." Lang's attention to detail and atmosphere dominates this unusual tale of revenge. "The Return of Frank James" also marks a cinematic advance for the German director in his vivid use of Technicolor and location photography. An impressive highlight is the chase through the High Sierras - a spectacular action sequence that reveals Lang's expressionist design in his use of architectural rock formations. "The Return of Frank James" has a look and feel unlike any Western of the period. In some respects, it can be considered the first "Western noir." Henry Fonda delivers a memorable performance in the title role, with good support from Henry Hull, John Carradine and Jackie Cooper.
January 28, 2008I have been waiting a long time to have this Henry Fonda Movie on DVD. It is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. Henry Fonda as Frank James is one of the cooles cowboys ever. The supporting cast of characters makes the story that much better. You will cheer for Frank James in the end.
May 14, 2007Wonderful movie. Needs to be seen after "Jesse james". Henry Fonda is great.

I thought it was an excellent sequel to the first movie.
Henry Fonda was excellent as Frank James.
May 12, 2007This sequal to Jesse James bring back a number of castmembers from that film. Henry Fonda gets the chance to be the star here. He does a fine job as Frank James, making viewers care for him and understand his need for revenge. Very good color transfer. If you are a fan of old westerns this one is a worthy addition to your collection
