Product description

Based on the true story of the last failed bank robbery by the James and Younger brothers, this film is notable for showing the unraveling heist from the outlaws' viewpoint. THE GREAT NORTHFIELD MINNESOTA RAID was shot in a meticulous semi documentary style that brings to life the glorious last ride of the infamous band of outlaws.

Late in the summer of 1876, Jesse James and Cole Younger were given amnesty by their home state of Missouri; after a long and prosperous career as robbers, the dynamic duo were, ironically, proclaimed state heroes. Faced with the possibility of a quiet and peaceful future, the notorious ruffians had no choice but to plan one final heist at the biggest bank west of the Mississippi, in Northfield, Minnesota. The heist was a grand scheme planned with great intellectual prowess by Younger, the introverted and soft-spoken leader of the group, who was often overshadowed by the flashy and daredevil killer, Jesse James. Together the two men executed what they thought would be a foolproof plan--until the citizens of Northfield proved them wrong.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked classic
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2008
    Verified Purchase
    This is a terrific film, but often overlooked in favour of The Long Riders, covering pretty much the same character relationships. Cliff Robertson and Robert Duvall are superb in the lead roles, as Cole Younger and Jesse James respectively. Younger is portrayed as a thoughtful, intelligent, even likeable but rascally outlaw, whilst Duvall's Jesse James is suitable creepy and devious. This film really explodes a few myths, and the broody photography and characteristaion, right through the entire supporting cast, makes for a wonderful ensemble piece of cinema. I believe it was made for TV but is surprisingly (though not gratuitously) violent and explicit - people actually suffer when shot, rather than falling over in a dignified manner and gentlemanly manner! This really is a good film, whether you like Westerns or not!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Bad Day at the Office!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2015

    This review relates to the Finnish blu-ray version. I was rather pleased with this rather unusual find. There aren’t too many blu-ray versions of the more obscure westerns around! In fact you do quite well to find standard Region 2 DVD’s most of the time! This one comes from Finland where they presumably still like their westerns on those long cold winters nights, amongst other things! This one is titled “Ryovarit”, which seems a very short translation of “The Great Northfield Minnesota “. I prefer this title whatever it means! There are no extras. It only offers optional Danish, Swedish and Finnish subtitles. The picture quality as you would expect is a cut above the usual foreign western DVD’s.

    The film takes a novel approach to the Jesse James legend by concentrating on that one famous ill fated raid in Northfield Minnesota, where those good ol boys encountered a few irate townsfolk. It is a sensible route to take as just about everything else about the James gang had already been done. Even so, there was more to come! This one takes the brutal seventies ‘mud and rags’ demythologising of the west a step further than the Hollywoodised “The Long Riders” and even the fascinating “The Assassination of Jesse James by the horrid dirty rotten snivelling little coward Bob Ford”.

    It is all surprisingly well realised. Northfield looks very similar to the Northfield of the old photos. It was in fact filmed in Jacksonville Oregon. The attention to period detail is heart warming. The events that take place are loosely based on the actual raid. If you are a stickler for historical accuracy, then this film will fall short of your expectations. That said it gives a good idea of how confusion and chaos can quickly descend on the best laid plans of mice and men. The cast is excellent. Cliff Robertson is a standout Cole Younger, who knows how to spin a yarn. One of his better performances! His unusual line in body armour does not seem up to Kevlar standards! Robert Duvall is darkly funny as a murderous spiritually charged Jesse James. Peckinpah stalwart R G Armstrong catches the eye as a gang member. Those distinctive character actors Elisha Cook jnr and Royal Dano also appear in small roles. It is a refreshingly original take on the legend, and one that I enjoyed very much. A bargain buy for a blu-ray, and astonishingly quick delivery from Finland! Well pleased!

    Read the original reports of the events penned at the time, then watch this movie. It is extreemly accurate and delivered in a semi documentary style. Robert Duval is one of my famorite actors and even as a younger man still delivers a very mature performance.

    I was looking forward to seeing this again remembering it fondly when it came out (1972),but was disappointed,I dont think its worn well. The cast is first rate Cliff Robertson as Cole Younger and Robert Duvall as Jesse James and it looks "authentic", in its day it was considered a"revisionist" western,gritty and realistic,but I think its been overshadowed by the likes of the "Long Riders" and the more recent Brad Pitt take on the Jesse James legend.

    A movie more recent than the other westerns issued by 101 films. Again in colour, and another take on Jesse James and his fellow outlaws and relations. If you enjoy westerns with a grain of truth you will enjoy this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Robertson and Duvall shine
    Reviewed in Canada on 1 January 2018

    After winning the Oscar for CHARLEY, Cliff Robertson could write his own ticket for a time. He brings a solid interpretation to Cole Younger, which is vital, considering Jesse James is played by Robert Duvall.

    Good Westerns were few and far between in the '70s. Compares very favourably with other Younger/James films, including THE LONG RIDERS, which came out a few years after THE GREAT NORTHFIELD MINNESOTA RAID and upped the nudity and violence factors to reflect (the decline in) audience tastes.

    Duvall plays James as somewhat psychotic, but it works, giving Robertson's Younger the opportunity to be the intelligence of the gang.

    Très bon film où c'est Cole Younger qui est mis en valeur au dépens d'un Jesse James impulsif, psychotique et sans scrupules. Cliff Robertson et Robert Duvall sont les vedettes de ce western réaliste qui se laisse bien regarder.

    5.0 out of 5 stars THE OTHER GREAT JESSE JAMES FILM
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 October 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Philip Kaufman's version of the last days of the Younger Brothers was made a bit before Walter Hill's "The Long Riders," and it suffers from being hyped as a serious action film when it is, in fact, a black comedy. Robert Duvall's Jesse James is so deliciously over-the-top in his self-righteousness and his faux-piety that he tends to obscure Cliff Robertson's turn as the bemused rationalist Cole Younger who finds too much of life "a wonderment," while Jesse just shoots at it and runs.
    If Hill's film is about family and ties of blood, Kaufman's film is about greed and double-dealing raised to an art form. Everyone, except pious, mad Jesse is for sale in Kaufman's world. The Missouri state legislature can be bribed by the railroad to cancel an amnesty bill. Cole Younger plots with a venal banker to con the "good people" of Northfield, Minnesota out of their savings, then plans to rob the banker. The citizens of Northfield think nothing of cheating like mad to defeat a visiting baseball team from St. Paul and form the ultimate "shoot first" posse once the James and Younger gang presumes to raid their town. Northfield is the sort of civilized place where it's O.K. to pelt a madman with stones, but definitely bad form to shoot him. When the Missouri boys take on this group of respectable Northern burgers they take on much more than they bargained for.

    3.0 out of 5 stars REMEMBER THIS ONE...BUT FORGOT HOW QUIRKY IT IS!
    Reviewed in the United States on 26 June 2019

    If you were the younger side of 30 in 1972 (as I was), you were raised with Hollywood's typical western fare on the small screen, through countless 50s and early 60s western TV series. The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid wasn't the western of your childhood. But by 1972, But you were likely prepared for that--thanks to Little Big Man in 1970 and--especially--McCabe and Mrs. Miller just the year before.

    Director/writer Philip Kaufman wasn't exactly breaking new ground, here, but he was breaking in his own career--this is his first commercial feature-length movie. So--wow, pretty impressive, although less so at the box-office. (He'd go on to do many other notable films, including the remake of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Right Stuff.)

    Most of this movie is played for (very broad) laughs. The lead is Cliff Robertson, as leader Cole Younger, but the scene stealer is relative newcomer, Rober Duvall (this is the year he "broke out" as Tom in the Godfather.) With Cole presumed dead, Duvall (Jesse) takes over, and that short scene--less than a minute in length--Is riveting, as he displays that obsessive zeal that would give him an Oscar nominations for his roles in Apocalypse Now and The Apostle.

    Memorable bits:
    Scheming while relieving themselves: The cosy conversation between two gang members in the outhouse.
    The baseball game: while some of it is quite funny in a Keystone Cops kind of way, scene goes on far too long, director Kaufman clearly in love with the footage.
    The bank robbery: more "Keystone Cops"--but deadly none the less. Kaufman captures the chaos, through sometimes fuzzy-focused cinema-verite, through what what appears to be hand-held camera. Very "arty."
    The "continuum of time" motif. Jesse and others call the robbery a "raid"--they're still fighting the guerrilla action of the Civil War, caught in the past. Not Cole. He sees the future--"It's a wonderment!" and so do we--a world of "machines." And, as the voice-over narration emphasizes, he lived to see a lot of it, delaying death until 1916.

    An amusing "counter-culture" flick that doesn't age all that well. But then, neither have many of the Baby-boomers who once thought this was "cool" and "kinda hip."
