3 Godfathers Ratings & Reviews
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
A lesser partnership between the Johns -- Ford and Wayne -- this sentimental Western about three outlaws and a baby stresses the theme of civilization vs. chaos, faith/order vs. the law of the gun.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Ford and cinematographer Hoch beautifully capture 3 Godfather's Western scenery in Technicolor.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Comic antics ensue -- think Three Men and a Baby with saddle sores instead of Tom Selleck -- but the film eventually turns grim.
HollywoodChicago.com
Patrick McDonald
Two Western film icons at their peak ... director John Ford and John Wayne ... deliver both a cowpoke picture and a metaphoric Christmas story in classic MGM studio fashion. Glorious on-location Technicolor and the Duke at his Duke-est. Pat&Ken Holiday!
Photoplay
Elsa Branden
The standout scene is a desert sandstorm so real you can almost feel the hot sand cutting your face.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
John Ford, who had shot this popular tale as a silent, remade it with John Wayne, emphasizing even more the religious symbolism.
TV Guide
A wonderful, sentimental western.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
There are humor and honest tear-jerking in this visually beautiful film.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Reworking of the 3 wise men story out west is very good Ford.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Wayne as the Prodigal Son delivering the Christ child seemed a bit of a stretch.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Gorgeously photographed Ford version of the often filmed story.
