| When con men Zack Thomas (Frank Sinatra) and Joe Jarrett (Dean Martin) team up to open a gambling den, they quickly realize that business in the wild West isn't so easy. Both miscreant banker Harvey Burden (Victor Buono) and loose-cannon gunman Matson (Charles Bronson) are out to stifle Zack and Joe's moneymaking schemes. Luckily, the grifters still find plenty of time to romance a couple of voluptuous frontier babes (Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress).Rat Packers Sinatra and Martin fuel this comedic Western with their genuine, inimitable chemistry, and the pleasingly skewed supporting cast--including the staggering beauties Ekberg and Andress, the Three Stooges, and Yaphet Kotto in an uncredited cameo that marked his film debut--follows their roisterous lead. Director Robert Aldrich, fresh off the critical and popular success of his caustic psycho-thriller WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?, uses a much lighter touch in 4 FOR TEXAS to create an enjoyable, star-studded ride through the old West. |
