Three Faces West Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
July 16, 2025
“Three Faces West” is a Dust Bowl-era melodrama with John Wayne as a town leader guiding his community toward a better life. The storytelling is straightforward, with heavy-handed but earnest anti-Nazi messaging. For a 1940 release, it was reaching for a moral stance before the United States entered the war. The film touches on the refugee crisis, rising fascism, and American resilience, all wrapped in a quietly sincere package. As a piece of early wartime cinema, it offers a thoughtful glimpse into how Hollywood shaped ideas of national identity.

This mediocre John Wayne vehicle is a message film about refugees escaping Nazi-dominated Austria; the original title (I Married a Nazi) was changed for political reasons.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An unusual contemporary Western featuring a compelling theme about refugees making a go of it in their new country among pioneers.
