VHS Movie Reviews of Sons of Katie Elder

Movie Review: Just God Awful
Summary: 2 Stars

Please, no more John Wayne-Dean Martin movies. Just as slow moving and horsey as they get.

Movie Review: Best Western
Summary: 5 Stars

I generally like all John Wayne westerns but this one had such a work
together cast and Wayne's character was accurately portrayed throughout
the whole movie that I got the feeling that this was truly a believable
story.

Movie Review: Great Classic Western
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a birthday gift for my brother and he was so happy. The quality was good and we really enjoyed watching the Duke

Movie Review: Big Bad John
Summary: 5 Stars

The Duke is John Elder,a man with a reputation with a gun,he's back in town for his mothers funeral where all the Elder brother's eventually meet to find out the status of Katie Elders estate she may have left behind for her sons.a good plot,lots of gunplay,John Wayne at his best as usual,Dean Martin is good as Tom Elder,though I've seen him in better roles as the drunk character,Dude,in Rio Bravo.To tell you how tough the Duke really was,Wayne always insisted on doing his own stunts as in this movie after recently undergoing lung cancer surgery(the removal of half of one lung.)A prime example of the Toughness of John Wayne.The Duke once said,courage is being scared but saddling up anyway.I rate Son's of Katie Elder,four stars for the movie itself,and a extra star for the remastered video on this Paramount dvd,what a picture!,also,you can't beat the price.

Movie Review: Great screenplay! Great soundtrack! Unpredictable and engaging throughout the entire film.
Summary: 5 Stars

What more can you want in a movie? In my book this is one of the best movies of the 1960's. As the story unfolds the plot keeps you and the characters are fun and remarkably developed which is why I consider this one of the best screenplays ever and I am surprised by the lack of recognition it has achieved on that level.

Summary of Sons of Katie Elder

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
