The film Four Brothers (2005) is loosely based on this story's depiction of brothers trying to atone for their sins to a saintly mother who has recently died.
The four adult sons of Katie Elder — John (John Wayne), who is a famous (or infamous) professional gunman, Tom (Dean Martin), a professional gambler who is also handy with a gun, Bud (Michael Anderson, Jr.), the youngest brother who is a college student, and Matt (Earl Holliman), who is a rancher — reunite in their hometown of Clearwater, Texas, in 1898 for their mother's funeral. They share regret that none of them has lived up to her high expectations of them.

The brothers want to do something for Katie's sake, and their plan is to send youngest son Bud to college, raising money through a sale of another man's herd LESS
