Review by Library Journal Review

Filmmaker Feinsilber uses clips from Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) combined with on-screen interviews, historic photos, and stunning landscapes to re-create the life of Billy the Kid. The film's lyrical, slow, and deliberate pace, plus narration by Kris Kristofferson, will appeal to a sophisticated audience and contrasts with the re-created action scenes in the History Channel's Jesse James. The latter is divided into two parts. "The Plot To Kill Jesse James" incorporates actor portrayals and dialog to present the story of Robert Ford and his plot to kill the infamous outlaw. "The James Gang: Outlaw Brothers" features historians and writers who relate the background of the gang. Two excellent additions to Western Americana collections.-Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley Coll., Mt. Carmel, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
