Alias Jesse James

Seems like major insurance firms had input for the opening narration, all of which sets up star Bob Hope as a bumbling 1880’s insurance salesman, whose boss (Will Wright) decides his time is up, in the comic Western Alias Jesse James, 1959, with Rhonda Fleming and Wendell Corey.

Bob Hope is life insurance salesman Farnsworth, in Missouri to buy back the policy he sold to Jesse James (Wendell Corey), whom he doesn't realize robbed his train earlier, and who visits with his bombshell fianceè Cora (Rhonda Fleming), in the Western comedy Alias Jesse James, 1959.
