    Just re-watched The Sons of Katie Elder. Some quick thoughts: (1) First half of movie is a nice little mystery......as the movie hands out little tidbits of information. (2) Wayne looks surprisingly fit...especially since filming was delayed for 4 months while he recovered from cancer treatments. (3) Movie is not nearly as impressive as Martin and Wayne's Rio Bravo....but it is still very enjoyable. (4) I bet Dean Martin thought he was doing a death scene when he falls down at the end....only saved by a throwaway line with Martin off camera at the end....as Martha Hyer's character says..."Tom told the doctor it will take more than one bullet to kill him."
