John Wayne Gets Religion In 1948's 3 Godfathers/TTAC W/O
Written
By jankp
on Sat Dec 14 18:03:22 EST 2002I've never been a western movie fan, but lately I've enjoyed two Wayne flicks to my surprise: The Searchers and this little-known family film, 3 Godfathers, directed by the incomparable John Ford in 1948 and starring John Wayne, Pedro...
Pros: John Wayne having fun; sweet, wholesome story; laughable to the end with some seriousness .
Cons: none unless you're against goofiness or miracles.
Bottom Line: A perfect Christmas movie for the family who likes old-fashioned charm..
