4 for Texas (1963)

Director: Robert Aldrich
Cast: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Anita Ekberg, Ursula Andress, Charles Bronson
Genre: Comedy Western
Length: 124 minutes

I'm not really sure what the premise was, this is one of those mid 1960s zany comedies where the actual plot doesn't seem to matter much. I could have cared less about the story at any rate.

The movie is more about: comic scenes, fun action scenes and eye candy thanks to Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress. And just for good measure the Three Stoogies make an experience. A serious story it's not.

Ursula Andress famous for being a Bond girl in the 007 film Dr. No, takes a comic turn as one of the four for Texas.


Anita Ekberg is looking lovely as the other woman who's paired with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.


Hey it's the Three Stooges!

Frank Sinatra seemed to be bored through out the film and I know he's capable of excellence: (From Here to Eternity, The Man with the Golden Arm, The Manchurian Candidate). Luckily Dean Martin is likable here and makes the film fun to watch. Anita Ekberg seemed bored too, perhaps because she got stuck with Sinatra. Ursula Andress on the other hand had a great part and was watching for her spirited acting. Her and Dean Martin make the film. The bad guy is played by Charles Bronson, who's good at being bad.

4 for Texas is an OK film for a rainy day.
