3 GODFATHERS (1948)


This was a surprising movie from John Ford.
Robert, William and Pedro are three outlaws on the run in the desert, and they come across a woman about to give birth.
They don't know what to do, but they help her nonetheless, as mid-wives, lullaby singers and promising her to be Godfather to the infant.
The harsh desert is a character itself, like it was in Lawrence of Arabia! Two of the men die in their trek across it, and Robert ("BOB"-played by John Wayne)
ends up being Biblically Redeemed by protecting the baby until he reaches safety.
Great movie from John Ford, one I'd never seen and wasn't expecting.
