Three Godfathers (6-Mar-1936)

Director: Richard Boleslawsky

Writers: Edward E. Paramore, Jr.; Manuel Seff

From novel: The Three Godfathers by Peter B. Kyne

Musical Score by: Dr. William Axt

Producer: Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Keywords: Western

Three ruthless fugitives from a Christmas bank robbery flee the town of New Jerusalem, tracked by a posse; in the desert, they encounter a dying mother and her infant. Two convince the third to rescue the baby. A tough, darker western which has aged well. Remade by John Ford in Technicolor as 3 Godfathers (1948), with considerably more sentimentality.
