Three Godfathers
Three fugitives risk their lives to bring a newborn baby out of the desert to safety. Four outlaws come to New Jerusalem, a town full of courteous and religious people, to rob the bank. After shooting the president of the bank, only three make it out of town followed by the posse. By the time they get to the second desert water hole, they find it dry and also find a wagon with a dying mother and baby. When the horses are dead the next morning, the three outlaws have no choice but to try to walk back to New Jerusalem and only two want to take the baby. —Tony Fontana <tony.fontana@spacebbs.com> Western fans have saddled up often with these desperados. At least 5 versions - tales of grim men sacrificing their own well-being for the safety of an infant they find while on the lam from a bank heist - have come to the screen. Three Godfathers (with Chester Morris, Walter Brennan and Lewis Stone, directed by Richard Boleslawski) adds touches of humor to the early pre-heist scenes before settling into the tale's profound power and is been described as little-seen and underrated. For this movie and for these three tough hombres, redemption is nigh. —Anonymous
