Editorial Review:
John Wayne recovered from his first bout with cancer to appear in this 1965 film as the brother of Dean Martin, Earl Holliman, and Michael Anderson Jr. All four characters are wandering souls prone to trouble, but after the funeral of their frontier mother, they set out to avenge her death. Directed by Henry Hathaway (Wayne's director on True Grit), the film moves like a conventional, latter-day Western, with good performances from Wayne and Martin, who'd already costarred with the Duke in Howard Hawks's Rio Bravo. Nice support from Dennis Hopper (who had a legendary conflict with Hathaway on this film), Strother Martin, and George Kennedy. --Tom Keogh
The four sons of Katie Elder return home to Texas for her funeral. They then set out to avenge her death, but town thugs give them trouble.

Rating: - Great screenplay! Great soundtrack! Unpredictable and engaging throughout the entire film.
What more can you want in a movie? In my book this is one of the best movies of the 1960's.

Rating: - Not a great Waynestern, but a good one with very enjoyable twists
This is a different sort of Western for John Wayne. While he has a big reputation as a gunfighter, he spends the film avoiding fighting as much as he can. Wayne also has fewer action sequences in the film. This may simply be due to the plot of the movie, or it may have been his recover from lung cancer surgery and treatment that he had in 1964 and had delayed the shooting of the film until 1965. Wayne insisted on doing all his own stunts even though it had only been four months since he had the cancerous ... Read More
Rating: - Four Brothers on the loose
This classic Western Flick is the best introduction into this genre.Four Brothers try to find out why their mother was killed.The movie is full of legendary moments like classic shootouts or brawling scenes.It is also an exemple of perfect Type casting and beautiful composed pictures(See Waynes first appearence).The Picture is quiet good in a terrific Scope presentation and the sound ok.Specials are Zero.But a must for any collectors.
Rating: - Another John Wayne Great
A great movie. It shows the love of a son for his mother. It shows how siblings can get along by loving and fighting with each other. A really good movie to watch.
