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. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

Over time, you will simply get tired of watching too honorable heroes. People want someone less correct, less straightforward. That is why Sergio Leone's films "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," and especially "Once Upon a Time in the West" became so popular. They brought a fresh breeze into the sails of the western genre. Considering that Sergio Leone directed "For a Few Dollars More" in the same year as Hathaway's film "The Sons of Katie Elder," the contrast is even more noticeable. Americans still adhered to the standard, but it no longer had the necessary edge, the audience wanted something different, something more. The audience is demanding, they want something new, they want trends that haven't been seen before or that they have forgotten. How long will it take for us to get tired of comic book adaptations? The western genre held on for quite a while, but "The Sons of Katie Elder" only confirms that in the 60s, its death knell had already sounded.
