The King and Four
Queens (1956)
Directed by Raoul
Walsh this film stars Clark Gable, Jo Van Fleet, Eleanor Parker, Jean
Willes, Barbara Nichols and Sara Shane. A cowboy rides into a ghost
town where four women and their mother in law live with a hidden pile
of loot.
It's rare that you get
a western with a decent female character so having five here makes
for a nice change of pace. The plot works pretty well as the smarmy
protagonist more than meets his match in the other characters.
Largely the film is well made but this is a pretty average film even
if it does have some novelty appeal going for it.
3/5
