3 Bad Men (1926)

Fox Film
Directed by John Ford
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Fox)

Three outlaws become protectors of a young woman they almost killed while stealing her horses. She manages to tame their wild ways, but also catches the eye of an Irish immigrant cowboy. Gold is discovered in the Dakotas, and they join the masses in the ensuing land rush. The outlaws make questionable self-sacrifices in order to defeat a crooked sheriff and allow the young couple to find happiness. The spectacular outdoor locations, in particular the land rush scene, are perfectly balanced by just the right amount of romance and action. Olive Borden shines as the young girl Lee.
