The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)

This movie inspired me to learn how to shoot ambidextrously. Almost every time I have 2 single action revolvers at the range with me, I re-enact the scene down by the river. Engaged steel targets yesterday and went 11/11 (one Ruger that can safely hold six and a traditional SAA clone that can only hold 5). Going to watch it with the wife (at HER request) later this evening.

As Duke would say.
Thats good shooting.

Good Movie, I just watched it again. I like it, I liked Dean Martin in John Wayne movies.
There are many good actors here. Some more are Earl Holiman & George Kennedy.

It never ceases to amaze me how seamless Dean Martin fits into this film. I think this movie speaks as much to his strengths as an actor as it does the Duke. The whole film is just a wonderful who's-who all-star cast.

One of my favorites. I really enjoy how confused Dean's character is after this scene when Duke bluffs the villain about the family playing Blackjack together.

The music is wonderful too!

I have always loved the line Duke uses at Katie's grave, to the Sheriff, " You've been trying real hard not to tell me something, Billy"
