Decent Wayne western
When four brothers return to their home town to attend their mother's funeral, they soon discover her estate was not as they remember and the circumstances around the death of their father warrants further investigation.

The bad guys eventually present themselves and the good guys are arrested for causing trouble with the local law.

Getting to love Wayne more and more the more films of his I have watched. I can see now how he had such a commanding screen presence which still endures so many years later.

It was great to some some of my other favorites actors including George Kennedy and Dennis Hopper in supporting roles. Also, I didn't think Dean Martin could pull off a western role while staying sober, so he was a pleasant surprise also.

Overall the movie delivers the mostly standard OLD West movie elements including some great shootout scenes which makes it easy to recommend.
