Today's movie is the 1939 film Days of Jesse James and it stars two legends of the Western genre, Roy Rogers and George "Gabby" Hayes. The movie hits the ground running by starting off with Jesse James and his gang robbing a train. This event is enough to convince one of the train's passengers, Gabby Whittaker (played by Hayes), to start putting his money into the bank. Unfortunately for him, the bank he puts all his money in is robbed shortly afterwards. Of course everyone assumes that Jesse James is also responsible for the bank robbery, so Roy and Gabby set out to find the James gang. However, the two soon discover the truth and, Spoiler Alert (if you're actually worried about spoilers for a movie that was released nearly 80 years ago), it turns out the bank manager is the one who actually stole the money.
Overall, this is a decent flick. The plot is straight forward and to the point, and although it's probably not one of Roy Rogers best, I think it's enjoyable.
2.5 out of 5
