In the 1870s, two rival businessmen, Zack Thomas (Frank Sinatra) and Joe Jarrett (Dean Martin), on a stagecoach heading to Galveston, Texas, must pull together to protect $100,000 from an outlaw named Matson (Charles Bronson). Once in Galveston, however, their rivalry continues, as Thomas joins up with Elya Carlson (Anita Ekberg) and Jarret with Maxine Richter (Ursula Andress). But Matson is still on the loose, and a scheming banker threatens both Thomas and Jarrett.

Aldrich's trademark violence bursts through only sporadically; otherwise the film comes across as a lazy, party-time effort for the stars.

A stupid and overlong Rat Pack sex comedy Western that bites the dust with hardly any intentional laughs.

A really bad, but fun, and too long, movie saved only by a galaxy of stars. The same formula is used today far too much.

Four for Texas is a disappointing film. It is about two friendly enemies who both want to control gambling in 1870 Galveston. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Robert Aldrich did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
