Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish Sequel to 1939's "Jesse James", this time focusing on Jesse's elder sibling, Frank. After his brother's murder, Frank attempts to hang up his six-shooter and live a normal life. But, as he is still an outlaw at heart, and a revenge-seeking one at that, Frank saddles up again, and goes gunnin' for the desperadoes who killed his brother. Fritz Lang's first western and his first film in color, THE RETURN OF FRANK JAMES, offered the director a new lease on life in Hollywood and allowed him contribute his directorial experience and personal sensibilities into the popular format of the Western. A sequel to 1939's JESSE JAMES, THE RETURN OF FRANK JAMES focuses on Jesse's elder sibling, Frank (played in both films by Henry Fonda) and uses revenge--a motif that Lang turned to often in his Hollywood years--as its primary theme. After his brother's murder, Frank attempts to live a normal life in seclusion, under an assumed name. But as he is still an outlaw at heart, and a revenge-seeking one at that, Frank saddles up again, and hunts down the his brother's acquitted killers, the Ford Brothers. Tagging along is his sidekick, Clem, played by child star Jackie Cooper. Gene Tierney makes her Hollywood debut as a meddlesome, lovestruck reporter on Frank James' trail. As James' headlong quest for vengeance drags all of the other characters down with him, THE RETURN OF FRANK JAMES becomes a moving tale of loyalty, revenge, and dignity. These themes, which are common to the Western genre, are given Fritz Lang's unique and expressionistic signature in this film. Theatrical Release: August 12, 1940

Marathon Music & Video presents a sprawling compilation of western movies, individually described below:
ONE EYED JACKS (1961) - Marlon Brando's only directorial effort also features one of his most remarkable performances. It's the Old West of 1880, and Kid Rio (Brando) and his partner, Dad Longworth (Karl Malden), rob a Mexican bank. Longworth gets away, purposely allowing the Kid to get caught and imprisoned. Finally escaping five years later, the Kid seeks revenge but is astonished to find Longworth married with a stepdaughter--and serving as the sheriff of a town. Matters worsen dramatically when the Kid falls in love with the stepdaughter. Slim Pickens appears in a memorable supporting role as a villainous lawman in this classic masterpiece, arguably one of the two or three finest westerns ever made, and certainly one of the most flamboyantly entertaining.
RAGE AT DAWN (1955) - Special agent James Barlow (Randolph Scott) goes undercover as a train robber in order to become a member of the infamous Reno brothers' gang of crooks. Once inside, the situation takes an unexpected turn when he falls for their sister (Mala Powers) and takes a liking to their leader (Forrest Tucker). He soon discovers the gang's ways of getting around the law: "legal loopholes" and political bribery. Edgar Buchanan and Denver Pyle play supporting roles.
