One of the most difficult pro blems facing producer Darryl F Zanuck, who had already shown his good judgment by casting Tyre Power in the title role, was to ascertain a fairl, accurate plc. ture of what Jesse James was really Ike, and then to present that pic-with Orth. ture with as much authenticity as possible. taking care neither to whitewash nor blacken the charac- tor of the man.
