NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Ploydsge just watch it!

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

William Brighenti This movie sucks. Frank Sinatra is pitiful. I tried to follow the plot and fell asleep: it was that boring.According to the recent series, "Feud", Robert Aldrich couldn't direct the movie. Sinatra did it his way; and his way came off as contrived and phony and flat. The fight scenes were so fake that they even were uneventful.I only wonder how the cast felt after making this bomb. I always felt Frank Sinatra was over-rated. This movie proves it beyond a doubt.I am relieved that Frank Sinatra cannot make any more of these bombs.

RanchoTuVu Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin compete for control over the lucrative gambling business in post-Civil War Galveston while crooked banker Victor Buono employs villainous killer Charles Bronson to eliminate both Frank and Dino in order to run the town himself. Buono is pretty fun to watch as he makes himself a sandwich and tries to contain Bronson. 4 For Texas qualifies as a western because the title includes the word "Texas", but it looks pretty southern with wharves and riverboats in a lot of the outdoor scenes that give the movie a certain amount of regional authenticity which is kind of interesting to watch just on its own merits. In fact you could pretty much dismiss the plot and focus on the film's cool imagery and one of its stars, Ursula Andress, of whom there is what looks like a nude portrait that hangs behind the bar in Dino's riverboat establishment. As a comedy this falls mostly flat. Even the Three Stooges part is not up to their usual high standards, but as entertainment, you could do worse.

Tim Kidner I like a good western and when this came up on TV and I read the reviews, I was wondering whether I should bother.Eventually the cast list swayed me to, though I'm generally not a fan of Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra. Charles Bronson, Anita Eckberg and Ursula Andress attracted me as well as wondering where and how the Three Stooges might make their mark. Robert Aldrich, director of the Dirty Dozen might at least add some pedigree in that department.As the other few reviews have pointed out in some detail, the opening sequence is a classic, quality suspenseful one, with Sinatra and Bronson sharing a shoot-out over the $100,000 haul. Unfortunately the film moves into the studio and outdoor scenes are both flimsy and rare, with the comedy generally sped-up punch-ups to quickened music. The blonde beauties are often accompanied by raunchy, strip-club type of music that both cheapens them and also the movie.There's a story about a paddle-steamer in there somewhere, but by that time I couldn't care what happened to it or to whoever was aboard. Frankly, I was on the verge of giving up on the film entirely at 90mins but I guess laziness forced me to let it play on.I cannot recommend this film. Even if you are a fan of any of its key actors it's just not worth the drudge to see them perform below par and with an even worse script.

blueeyesh I watched this movie for one reason only: because I like Dean Martin. Frank Sinatra Made the deal a little sweeter. The story wasn't comparable to other westerns (John Wayne, Randy Scott, etc.), but, for some reason, I found it interesting. Some of Dean's best roles were with John Wayne, but, in this picture, he played what appeared to me to be a very lovable "good guy". Many people say that the best scene is the one with the 3 Stooges, which is fairly accurate, but I must be a Dean Martin junkie. I have also heard people say that his best roles were in the movies where he appeared as Martin from the great comedy duo "Martin & Lewis". I have found, however, that, no matter how much he "drinks" in movies, he is an awesome actor, and an even better singer! Remember this: people used to ridicule him for drinking on stage and on film, but, hey, Ron White has had to stop in the middle of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour to refill his glass. You know his is real, because his jokes actually seem to get better as he goes along. And, no one really says anything about it.Overall, I'd say you have to be a big fan of Dean and Frank to enjoy this film, or someone who loves watching those sort of "off-beat" westerns.
