Three Godfathers

Another version of the Peter B. Kyne novel (see also 1930's "Hell's Heroes") about three bank robbers, a newborn, a promise to its dying mother, a desert trek, and a Christmas miracle. There's more fleshing out of the outlaws' characters in this version and some subplots but it's still much grittier than the 1948 remake. Filmed on location in the Mojave Desert and at Red Rock Canyon.
