I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply Perfect

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It tries everything to win the viewer over, all of the typical western tactics and tropes, but a western with a vapid story line, basic acting, and too many improbable and poorly edited shoot 'em up moments cannot be rescued, no matter how many whiskeys and cowboy antics are thrown in, even with a star-studded cast.

. . . that John Wayne and Dean Martin's characters in THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER are stone-cold serial murderers; career criminals who've terrorized the people of Texas, Louisiana, and who knows how many more states. Martin's "Tom" would be on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted List," had the Feds been around in the 1800s. Tom's made a career out of impoverishing normal people with various scams, and slaying any small businessmen who object to his turning their honest establishments into dens of thieves. Martin's movie big brother "John" is far worse, getting two Texas sheriff's killed through his reckless, loose-cannon ways in this brief plot alone. John fatally guns down several more deputies with his own two hands. John's guiding principle seems to be, "When you're in Texas, the thing to do is totally ignore or defy police orders, because all the cops there are gutless wimps." John closes KATIE by setting off a terroristic blast destroying half of Clearwater, TX. Quite a few of "Il Duce's" features climax in this fashion, which is why Wayne's later criticism of Clint Eastwood's ending for HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is so hypocritical. Clint should have set "Il Duce" straight in that Mr. Eastwood's Modus Operandi is just to retrace Big John's footprints.

John Wayne, Dean Martin, Earl Holliman & Michael Anderson Jr. play John, Tom, Matt, & Bud Elder, four brothers who return to their hometown of Clearwater, Texas to attend their mother's funeral. They then decide to look further into the death of their father, who was shot in the back after gambling away the deed to the ranch to Morgan Hastings(played by James Gregory) the town gunsmith and shady character who, along with his son(played by Dennis Hopper) know more about the killing than they are willing to admit. The town sheriff(played by Paul Fix) warns the sons not to pursue the matter, but of course they wont listen, leading to a violent showdown...Entertaining if overlong and a bit meandering western has a good cast and direction(Henry Hathaway) and an exciting climax to maintain viewer interest.

Katie Elder has died.Her four sons return to Clearwater, Texas and mourn over her death.They also intend to get the ranch back and revenge for the murder of their father.The Sons of Katie Elder (1965) is directed by Henry Hathaway.The brothers are played by four terrific actors, which are John Wayne (John), Dean Martin (Tom), Michael Anderson, Jr. (Bud) and Earl Holliman (Matt).Martha Hyer is wonderful as Mary Gordon.Jeremy Slate is terrific as Ben Latta.James Gregory is great as Morgan Hastings.The young Dennis Hopper gives a terrific performance as his son Dave.Paul Fix is superb as Sheriff Billy Watson.As the thuggish Curley you can see the marvelous George Kennedy.John Qualen is very good as Charlie Biller.Great job from Strother Martin, who plays Jeb Ross.And also from Karl Swenson as Doc Isdell.If a movie has John Wayne and Dean Martin in the lead, you can't expect a movie of bad quality.And this movie turns out to be a good western with Duke and Dino, but it's not their very best.It's not quite the level of Rio Bravo, which I saw again recently.But it entertains enough, like in the scene where those four brothers fight.And when these brothers fight, they really fight.And the gunfight in the end is a treat.
