      Audience Member House standing western highly recommend this one James Welch, Henderson Arkansas July 30, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review deke p I'm a BIG fan of BIG FESS PARKER & JEFF CHANDLER!. Interesting melodrama in the context of KANSAS 'JAYHAWKERS' before the Civil War. Not everyone would think its so great. Hey, there was a actor named JIMMY CARTER. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h The Jayhawkers is a decent film. It is about a power broker who is engaged in a battle with a bounty-hunter. Jeff Chandler and Fess Parker give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Melvin Frank did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance and adventure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good western actioner Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun to watch western containing Fess Parker's best performance, the show is stolen by Jeff Chandler's performance as the baddie you hate to see taken down--Bloody Kansas!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Man set on vengeance finds himself drawn in by his enemy's charisma. Average western with Parker the very definition of wooden, Jeff Chandler gives a good performance though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
