    Hell's Heroes, the 1929 William Wyler cowboy western ("Powerfully dramatic! Roaringly funny!... Intensely Human!...."; "They laughed at love and they laughed at life and they laughed at death when it found them!"; "An adaptation of Peter B. Kyne's sensational story... The Three Godfathers"; "Seal of merit"; about bank robbers who kill a man during a holdup, and they escape into the desert, and they find a woman who is giving birth, and she dies, but when they learn that the father was the man they killed, they feel it is their duty to get the baby to safety, but it is all they can do to save themselves) starring Charles Bickford, Raymond Hatton, Fred Kohler, Fritzi Ridgeway, and Joe De La Cruz. Note that there was both a silent and a sound version of this movie released by Universal in 1929. Also note that this was the first sound movie based on this classic story, but it was "old" even then! The very first adaptation was by Broncho Billy Anderson in 1915's "Broncho Billy and the Baby", followed by another version a year later under the source novel's name, followed by a third version called "Marked Men" in 1919. This movie was remade twice, both times under the source novel's name, in 1936, and in 1948, that time with John Wayne, and it was not directly remade again, although other movies borrowed elements of the plot.
