Amazon.com video review:
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
