The Sons of Katie Elder

Katie Elder's four sons return home to Clearwater, Texas to pay their last respects on the day their mother is buried. John Wayne is the oldest and toughest son, the gunslinger. Tom is good with a deck of cards and good with a gun when he has to be. Matt is the quiet one; nobody ever called him yellow--twice. Bud is the youngest. Whatever hopes for respectability the Elder name has lies with him. Not only is this a man's story, but it is also a drama of the maternal influence of Katie Elder, her sacrifice, love and incredible valor. (official distributor synopsis)
