Let me get this straight; John Ford made the original, then it was remade, then John Ford remade it, then it was remade again. This is Ford's second version.
Actually, there was a version that predated the first Ford version. It was made in 1913, was directed by Edward J. Le Saint, and starred Harry Carey. The novel on which all these films were based was written by Peter B. Kyne and was first published in The Saturday Evening Post on 23 November 1912.
That first film has been remade many times: in 1919 at Universal as "Marked Man," with John Ford directing and Carey starring again; in 1930 by Universal as "Hell's Heroes," with William Wyler directing and Charles Bickford starring; in 1936 by M-G-M with Richard Boleslawski directing and Chester Morris starring; in 1948 by M-G-M, with Ford directing again and John Wayne starring; and by ABC-TV in 1974 as "The Godchild," with John Badham directing and Jack Palance starring. Six versions in all.

Thanks, Bob.
I didn't know about the 1913 version or the 1930 one; I stand corrected. Has any other film been remade this many times? I can't think of one. (THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME comes to mind, but they weren't actual remakes just different takes on the same idea.)
