Katie Elder bore four sons. The day she is buried they all return home to Clearwater, Texas, to pay their last respects. John Wayne is the eldest and toughest son, the gunslinger. Tom (Dean Martin) is good with a deck of cards and good with a gun when he has to be. Matt (Earl Holliman) is the quiet one - nobody ever called him yellow...twice. Bud (Michael Anderson, Jr.) is the youngest. Any hope for respectability lies with him. Directed by Henry Hathaway (True Grit), an acknowledged master of the Western, the story has a dual theme: not only is this a he-man's story, but it is also a drama of the maternal influence of Katie Elder, movingly portrayed from beginning to conclusion.
The four sons of Katie Elder reunite in their Hometown of Clearwater, Texas for their Mother's funeral, and discover that the family ranch is now in the hands of Morgan Hastings, the town's gunsmith.

Now in WIDESCREENNo longer in 4:3 ratio, my copy updated to the correct widescreen aspect ratio..Score: 5/5
Movie screen changesThe credits in the beginning is wide screen, however it doesn’t fill the screen. Right after the credits, it changes to full screen. What a shame! It should be widescreen throughout. It’s not HD either. VUDU has it widescreen and HD. I have in both, however I will watch it in VUDU until iTunes makes it HD and widescreen. That is the reason for one(1) star. Otherwise it is a five(5) star movie..Score: 1/5
Cropped pan and scanI'd like to watch this movie, but I don't have a square screen that will fit this movie. All my screens are rectangles. The movie was originally created as a rectangle. I'll buy this movie when it is a rectangle again..Score: 1/5

Ugh... too badThe movie is good, it lost a star because I was an idiot and didn't notice that it was not in the orginal aspect ratio and has instead been cropped to the old 4:3 ratio preferred by television before larger screens became commonplace..Score: 4/5
