Genres & Description

Action Western

6.2 / 10

In 1876, the Missouri legislature issues a pardon and amnesty to the James and Younger gangs despite many people considering them outlaws. The pardon is because they protected the homesteaders of Clay County against the marauding railroaders, who wouldn't let anyone or anything get in their way of building the railroad where they wanted. However, the railroad companies and banks still consider them outlaws and will take matters into their own hands if they come across the gangs. Prior to the pardon, Cole Younger had contemplated robbing the First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota - what is considered the largest bank west of the Mississippi - but has now decided against it. Circumstances, including learning that Jesse James and his gang are going ahead with the robbery behind his back, and that the railroaders issuing a war against them which also includes bribing the legislature to revoke the pardon, make Cole change his mind. But right from the start - even during the planning ...

Notice the snow in some of the scenes? (once in a movie one can never watch them without seeing all the behind the scenes stuff, lol) The scene at the baseball field had snow all over (light) and there were HUGE heaters that blew hot air (it was cold) on us and it melted the snow for the shoot. The rainy Oregon turned out to make this a cult film - was not supposed to be in rain but could not stop it so just filmed it as it was. Amazing movie and how movies are made even more so mho. - @Monday, October 7, 2013 5:02 PM

and, Robert Duvall was just starting out, ie no private trailer as Mr. Robertson had. We were all eating in this huge area (xtra's) and he was sitting to my right (I was very young and had no idea who he was)... I noticed he had Salmon steak while the rest of us had ground steak patties. When I asked him why - he just laughed and smiled. All great actors, and he was a kind man. - @Monday, October 7, 2013 4:57 PM

I was actually an extra in that movie - filmed in Jacksonville Oregon (got out of high school yeah!) I got a great xtra part - one of a group of "village virgins" (we are seen in Robert Duvall's dreams then at the end when he is captured), and I am the "girl in the window" when Cliff Robertson is walking along the sidewalk and looks at me. (holding a piece of rotten stinky meat out of camera's way, lol).. the town looked like the old town it occurred in (they filled in the streets with dirt). - @Monday, October 7, 2013 4:55 PM
