6. "Kansas Raiders" was yet another movie about Quantrill's Raiders, with the concentration on the part played by Jesse James and his gang. Who was the leading star?

This is a movie which proceeds at a very fast pace and involves a lot of violent action. Most experts agree that it bears little relationship to any of the facts. It also starred Brian Donlevy, Marguerite Chapman, Scott Brady, Tony Curtis and Richard Long.

Strangely enough the action appears to be set in Montana where ranchers and rustlers fight over both land and the animals on it.
