Three Faces West (Republic 1940, John Wayne, Charles Coburn)

Published

on


In Three Faces West, an original blend of Western melodrama and anti-Nazi moralizing, an Austrian refugee doctor (Charles Coburn) helps John Wayne aid a group of Dust Bowl farmers who are struggling to survive in the Pacific Northwest. Wayne romances the doctor’s daughter, Sigrid Gurie, who pines for her lost Austrian love.

Bernard Vorhaus, director of Three Faces West, was later blacklisted. Ironically, the films star, John Wayne, was a ringleader of the blacklist as president of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals.
