3 Godfathers (1948 Film)
''3 Godfathers'' is a 1948 American Western film directed by John Ford and filmed (although not set) primarily in Death Valley, California. The screenplay, written by Frank S. Nugent and Laurence Stallings, is based on the 1913 novelette '' The Three Godfathers'' by Peter B. Kyne. The story is something of a retelling of the story of the Three Wise Men in an American Western context. Ford had already adapted the novelette once before in '' Marked Men'' (1919)—a silent film thought to be lost today. He decided to remake the story in Technicolor and dedicate the film to the memory of long-time friend Harry Carey, who starred in the previous movie. Carey's son, Harry Carey, Jr., plays one of the title roles in this 1948 film. Plot Three rustlers—Bob Hightower (John Wayne), Pete (Pedro Armendáriz) and The Abilene Kid ( Harry Carey Jr.)—ride into Welcome, Arizona.
