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.[2]
