An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) Jesse James, the 1927 Lloyd Ingraham silent cowboy western ("Story by Frank M. Clifton", the pseudonym used by Frances Marion!) starring Fred Thomson (in the title role as Jesse James), Nora Lane, Montagu Love, Mary Carr, James Pierce (as Frank James), and Harry Woods (as Bob Ford). Note that this was the first real film biography of this most notorious outlaw (James' son had appeared in two movies as "Jesse James Jr." in 1921, but they were not biographies). The next time this outlaw would appear on screen would be in 1939, where Tyrone Power Jr. played him! Note that Fred Thomson, who played the lead role, was a gigantic western star of the 1920s, but a year after making this movie, he stepped on a nail, got tetanus and died, and sadly, he is almost completely forgotten today. Also note that Frances Marion used a pseudonym for her screen credit for the screenwriting of this movie (perhaps that was because she was married to star Fred Thomson and didn't want to be accused of nepotism). Also, note that the "Biographer and Technical adviser" was Jesse E. James, who was the sole surviving son of the famous outlaw. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
