Kanis Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 My mom has a vivid memory of a western movie/tv show from when she was a kid (1956-1970) where a lone rider is on a horse in the desert and both appear to be on their last legs. Suddenly, the horse perks up and starts going faster, eventually running to a water hole. The horse starts drinking and the rider either starts drinking or is about to when he looks up and sees a dead/dying man next to a sign that indicates the water is poison. Can anyone tell me what movie/tv show this is from? The it could have been from before 1956 as she said her dad was watching it on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marysara1 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 In the Chester Morris movie 3 Godfathers. He drinks poisoned water to get him to town with a baby.https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/13195/three-godfathers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanis Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Thanks! I’ve looked at that one and the scene doesn’t play out as described. I’m currently trying to find footage from the movie “Hell’s Heroes” (1929) based on the same book as 3 Godfather’s to see if that scene is similar. In both movies, though, there doesn’t seem to be horses but the three men traveling on foot until they each leave/die until Bob/Robert drinks the poison water in order to make it to town.

shutoo Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 that 1929 film is on youtube if you want to skim through it and find the scene...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePo6THqlCQE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It would be early in the movie when they first come to the poison waterhole, just after they leave town after the robbery. He returns to it on foot at the and and drinks from it to be able to get the baby to the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanis Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Thanks for the effort, ya’ll but that’s not it; it would be a man on horseback and a surprise poison sign reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanis Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 She has admitted that it could be a conglomerate of several different things but it is so specific, I was hoping someone might know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
