3 Godfathers (1948)
15 January 2012
(7.5/10) Hidden gem in the Wayne/Ford canon. Good story of retelling the biblical Three Wise Men in a western setting, although it would have been more effective if they were more subtle presenting it. Cast was great including Harry Carey in his debut in the film dedicated to the life of his late father who starred in the original film this movie is based on. Ford uses scenery brilliant as always, but puts it in a new, unique role as the films' main antagonist. On the downside, I found the ending to be a little bit of a letdown. Highlight of the film is watching the three stars first cope with trying to take care of Robert William Pedro.
