  James-Younger Gang: Frank James Trial
Frank James' life and freedom were in considerable peril during 1882 as too many people who knew him, his habits, and connections, had been compromised.

The trial of Frank James, which we here give in full, will show to the reader how terrible, how daring and how powerful this band of outlaws had become, and how they were shielded and protected by some who were called among the best citizens of this country.

Frank James is a reluctant scourge, not at all like Krimehilde in the second part of Lang's Die Nibelung consumed with hatred and utterly implacable: though vengeance is a recurrent concern in Lang movies, there is variety in the obsessiveness.
Other than John Ford's Sergeant Rutledge, "The Return of Frank James has the longest (in screen time) trial of any western I can remember (and I can remember two incarnations of Judge Roy Bean on screen).
The trial of Frank James foreshadows those in "Boston Legal" or "Ally McBeal" for outrageous antics (the oily Yankee prosecutor played by Russell Hicks, the curmudgeonly former Confederate officer defense attorney turned local newspaper editor/publisher played by Henry Hull, and the more restrained, almost judicial former Confederate colonel slyly played by George Barabier).

Trivia: The original treatment had Frank romantically interested in the reporter played by Gene Tierney, but the studio became fearful of a possible lawsuit by Frank's widow and/or son, so it was eliminated from the script.
The promise is there early on and, as Frank starts to give up his quiet life to pick his guns up again, the film seems to chicken out of looking at his dark side at all.
Lang's direction is good although it is only in the odd scene where I felt he was doing something interesting (the scene in the barn near the end is the best one – all shadow and atmosphere).
