Jonathan Hole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin

Rat Pack buddies Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were prized for their ability to appear relaxed on camera, but in 4 for Texas they're nearly asleep. It must have looked good on paper: reunitin...( read more  read more... )g the crooners and teaming them with two international sex symbols in a jokey Western under the guidance of topnotch director Robert Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly). Ursula Andress, as a riverboat owner who hooks up with Dino, unleashes her bedroom purr to great effect, but formidable Anita Ekberg had a bad year in 1963 (she also got stuck in Bob Hope's immortal Call Me Bwana). A tasty roster of character actors is wasted, although Charles Bronson and Victor Buono are amusing as unsavory citizens of 1870s Galveston. Even the Three Stooges, in their Curly Joe configuration, wander through. After a terrific opening sequence in the desert, establishing Frank and Dean's rivalry, this one quickly goes south. --Robert Horton

    No singing, no dancing, just Frank and Dean in the old west drinking whiskey and banging beautiful ladies. The great surprise of this western was that Charles Bronson was the villian. Of course though even at his toughest he is no match for Frank and Dean.

    Anita Ekberg looked in great shape,as did Ursula Andress winning 5 stars for their appearnances. Frank & Deano took making the film in their stride. Charles Bronson was miss cast in this westerrn??
