3 Godfathers

3 Godfathers is a 1948 American western film directed by John Ford and filmed (although not set) primarily in Death Valley. The screenplay, written by Frank S. Nugent and Laurence Stallings, is based on the novelette of the same name written by Peter Kyne. Ford had already adapted the film once before in 1919 as Marked Men. The original silent adaptation by Ford is thought to be lost today. The story is something of a re-telling of the story of The Three Wise Men in an American western context.John Wayne as Robert Marmaduke Hightower

Pedro Armendáriz as Pedro "Pete" Fuerte
Mildred Natwick as Mother

Great upload! I own the DVD but now I'm too lazy to get out of my chair and plug it in with such a high-quality posting to look at. And it's a very unique Christmas movie. Is there even another Christmas western?

One of the best John Wayne movies ever made and yet it is almost forgotten. Brilliant acting from Pedro Armanderiz, Harry Carey Jnr. This film brings tears to the eyes.

Thank you for uploading. I nearly forgot it.

In Brazil called "O Céu Mandou Alguém".This great western is dedicated to the memory of another great silent film cowboy:Harry Carey(1878-1947),who played the first version of 1916.The actor Harry Carey was the actor's favorite actor John wayne.The son of Mr.Carey, Harry Carey Jr, is stilll alive. This soundtrack of Richard Hageman is emotion.mlmlmarcoslima@gmail.c­om
