In
4 for Texas,
Frank Sinatra and
Dean Martin star as Zack Thomas and Joe Jarrett, a pair of rival mountebanks who spend most of the film battling over who will control the gambling and wenching in 1870 Galveston. Though they'd as soon cut each other's throats than cooperate, Zack and Joe are forced to unite against a pair of common enemies: crooked banker Harvey Burden (played by
Victor Buono, a favorite of director
Robert Aldrich) and cold-blooded outlaw/hired-gun Matson (
Charles Bronson, virtually the only person in the film who takes his role seriously). The heroes also battle over the affections of well-endowed heroines Elya Carlson (
Anita Ekberg) and Maxine Richter (
Ursula Andress), both of whom are sharp-witted businesswomen who match Zack and Joe scam for scam.
The Three Stooges show up for a moment, in which they repeat their "point to the right" and "State of Texas" routines, and get into a fracas with feisty little old lady
Jesslyn Fax. Also making guest appearances are
Arthur Godfrey and
Teddy Buckner and His All Stars.

An American spaghetti Western
This is a rather unusual vehicle for Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Pairing them up in this Western comedy as two rival mountebags in post-Civil War era Galveston, Texas. Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress are their beautiful leading ladies, and Victor Buono and Charles Bronson are the villains they fight. Look for the Three Stooges in a classic comedy sketch. a favorite for fans of Frank and Dino.
