Bob Ford(Ireland)kills the famous outlaw for love and money;then must live (and eventually die)with the knowledge that he has committed a cowardly act. Early effort of director Fuller, this is a dark and brooding melodrama. Ireland emotes well as the disturbed assassin, supporting cast is first-rate. The next year(1950)Lippert productions released the lesser effort"The Return of Jesse James" which also starred Ireland.
