This 1965 Western starred John Wayne and Dean Martin. Four brothers return home when word of their mothers death reaches them. John Elder played by Wayne and Tom Elder played by Martin join their brothers Bud and Matt. Upon arriving in town they discover that thier Mom had moved out of the family ranch.
Soon we see that no one wants to talk of the circumstances of their fathers death six months earlier and that much has changed in town since the arrival of a Mr Hastings who has big plans for the town and it's growth.
No movie with John Wayne will depart far from the expected and John Elder wants some answers. In the end he finds them and sets out to make things right.
A good movie. Not a great one. Wayne, himself pushing 60 at the time of this movie was a bit old for the role of the prodigal son. Dean Martin, per usual, was strong and likable in his role.
