Ford and cinematographer Hoch beautifully capture 3 Godfather's Western scenery in Technicolor.

Comic antics ensue -- think Three Men and a Baby with saddle sores instead of Tom Selleck -- but the film eventually turns grim.

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!

The standout scene is a desert sandstorm so real you can almost feel the hot sand cutting your face.

I see a very poetic beauty when the director's subtle panoramas film the desert like few others. It is a very atypical western of Ford, but it is a very entertaining one. [Full review in Spanish]
