We saw this movie on television and realized that we had not seen it before. I then went to Amazon and ordered it so we could watch it again.

An unusual outing for Wayne by Daniel Lee Taylor (GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas United States)  4 Stars
March 04, 2007
This is not a well known film but it is one that I recommend to the John Wayne film buff. Also, those who think Wayne was just another cowboy star should watch this. It is a snapshot into the mid 1930's. The Dust Bowl is in evidence as well as refugees from the Nazis in Europe. Wayne is the leader of a town that takes in a medical doctor who has fled Europe. The conditions in the Dust Bowl makes the population of the town refugees as they pull up stakes and head to Oregon. Add in subplots of romance with the doctor's daughter and interference from a Nazi former boyfriend and you get the idea.

Three Faces West by eldon smith (United States)  3 Stars
July 09, 2006
I thought the movie was an insight into the time. It was made either prewar or early world war II and showed good versus evil. I like movies that show a clear difference between right and wrong and this one did just that.

Sigrid in her last with a major star by Henning Sebastian Jahre (Oslo, Norway) 3 Stars
December 21, 2004
Why on earth did they make this film??? It`s rather short on entertainment value u c - dear reader. However; as a study of mileue and character it survives.. if only just.... Some scenes with John and Sigrid(they did have an affair hehehe)are potent indeed, but they could have made so much MOOOOOOOOORE of it... It`s sad really....

Good action...great transfer! by Carolyn Falconer (Upstate, NY) 4 Stars
May 29, 2004
So far, the Republic films of John Wayne that have made it's way onto DVD have been hit or miss, when it comes to how nicely they get transferred. Some, like "The Fighting Kentuckian" and "The Quiet Man" appear to be transferred from a poor VHS source. Others, like "Wake Of The Red Witch" or "King Of The Pecos" look to come from the original film elements. So, needless to say, I was wondering how "Three Faces West" would look, when it showed up on my doorstep. I'm happy to say it looks great! It has some age-related problems, like a few "pops" and "ticks" in the soundtrack, but that's to be excused...seeing as a film like this would never get the full restoration process.As for the film itself, it's a quick moving take on the dust bowl farmers of the 1930s, and their trek to a new land in Oregon. Many compare this film (unfairly) to John Ford's "The Grapes Of Wrath", seeing as both deal with the same subject matter. While John Ford's film was made to make a statement about the plight of the mid-western farmers, this was made to be mostly just an 80 minute action film for John Wayne. And for that purpose, it succeeds! Pick this one up, you won't be disappointed....
