Jackass Mail

About This Movie

Jackass Mail is a 1942 film that blends elements of romance and western genres. Directed by an unlisted filmmaker, it tells the story of an orphan who idolizes the very horse thief responsible for his father's death.

Jackass Mail has had a somewhat fragmented existence in terms of home media releases, which contributes to its cult status among collectors. Finding it in good condition can be a challenge, as it didn’t receive the same level of preservation as bigger titles of its time. There's a growing interest in films like this that mix genres in unexpected ways, and collectors appreciate its offbeat narrative and the deeper themes that resonate even today.
