Hell’s Heroes (1929) and Three Godfathers (1936)

Several years ago a friend recommended that I watch Three Godfathers (1936), thinking, even though it was a Western, that I would enjoy it.  For the most part, a Western has to have something different than the usual Cowboys and Indians shooting it out to hold any interest for me.  I remember when I was a kid, I would sometimes watch these films on TV, and would mostly feel sorry for the horses that fell during the battle.  Therefore, I was delighted that I enjoyed Three Godfathers with the unusual story-line about three murderous outlaws who end up caring more for a baby than they do for themselves.
