Good sequel to Jesse James. I do miss some character in the film... none of the actors stand out, not even Fonda. In general, the acting was good, few disturbing elements. Only Tierney I found here more disturbing than adding something extra. In her later films I like her a lot better.

The whole story is well put together, but I miss some pepper.

The image quality is to die for... and that for a film from 1940!

Not a great western, although the landscapes are very beautiful, I also didn't like Fonda's acting.

The standard story is ok but it just doesn't really captivate.
