4 for Texas

4 for Texas is a 1963 American comedy Western film starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress, Charles Bronson and Mike Mazurki, with a cameo appearance by Arthur Godfrey and the Three Stooges.

In 1870, Zack Thomas, Joe Jarrett, and an outlaw band headed by Matson try to claim a shipment of $100,000 from a stagecoach accident.

They eventually must join forces to oppose Matson and corrupt banker Harvey Burden in order to keep their new gambling boat afloat.

Aldrich felt that the film was not a success and cited problems with his own script, as well as Sinatra's lack of enthusiasm for the project.

[14] Among the film's props is an authentic black hearse that was reputed to have carried many corpses to Boot Hill cemetery in Dodge City, Kansas.

[citation needed] In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson wrote, "Credit Messrs. Sinatra and Martin with knowing how to live it up on the screen, to the last diamond stickpin.

In Amazonian contrast to the rather spindly Mr. Sinatra, Miss Ekberg, exquisitely sheathed in gowns of the period, all but spills over.
