It's exactly what I wanted. Reasonably priced and delivery was very fast.
Good quality DVD's! I'm a fan of Dean Martin and I liked the movies very much. It was back to my youth by viewing them.
And now for Sergeants 3!
What a pity that movie is for the moment not available.
Anyone got a copy?
Thanks a lot and see you,

Rat Pack buddies Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were prized for their ability to appear relaxed on camera, but in 4 for Texas they're nearly asleep. It must have looked good on paper: reuniting the crooners and teaming them with two international sex symbols in a jokey Western under the guidance of topnotch director Robert Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly). Ursula Andress, as a riverboat owner who hooks up with Dino, unleashes her bedroom purr to great effect, but formidable Anita Ekberg had a bad year in 1963 (she also got stuck in Bob Hope's immortal Call Me Bwana). A tasty roster of character actors is wasted, although Charles Bronson and Victor Buono are amusing as unsavory citizens of 1870s Galveston. Even the Three Stooges, in their Curly Joe configuration, wander through. After a terrific opening sequence in the desert, establishing Frank and Dean's rivalry, this one quickly goes south. --Robert Horton

great movie very funny, all top naned actors and actresses made this
comedy most enjoyable.

Loved It!.......2006-09-24

I just watched this movie earlier today and I really loved it. I think this was a thousand times better than the last Sinatra film I saw-that crapola flick "The Manchurian Candidate." The scenes between him and Dean Martin are a riot. Speaking of that, there's a moment in the film's climax where The King of Cool and The Prince of Cool are fighting each other and I couldn't stop giggling. Boy I tell you, that fight scene was more enjoyable than Ol' Blue Eyes fighting Henry Silva in "The Manchurian Candidate" (talk about a mismatch in that one). Also, what can you say about Ursula Andress? How about one of the most sexy foreign actresses in cinema history? Also, Anita Ekberg co-stars (hard to believe this was the same woman who was in the fountain in "La Dolce Vita") as Sinatra's love interest and in a brillant move, Charles Bronson as the gunfighter who tries to nab Frank and Dean (this came in-between the westerns he was in like THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST). As that weren't enough The Three Stooges and Arthur Godfrey have walk-on roles. The film was directed by Robert Aldrich; and it was the follow-up to what I think is his signature film-"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" As what the description to this DVD says at the end to best sum up this movie: 'You will have a blast.'

Good but not great........2006-08-07

I guess I expected more out of this movie but I confess I was mildly disappointed in it. At first, the movie seems to be having a hard time making up its mind whether to be a comedy or a drama and the resulting mish mash is a bit unsettling. Still, it was a great cast; Dean Martin was particularly adept at westerns, much more so than Frank Sinatra, who pretty much plays Frank Sinatra in this one. It is fun to see the two of them compete for the ladies, in this case, Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress. The bad guys are well represented by Victor Buono and Charles Bronson. A fun movie but not particularly memorable.

RAT PACK GOES WEST. . . .......2006-04-21

This one has always been a guilty pleasure: the two head Rat Packers, Frank and Dino, bust it and themselves up in the Old West. Director Robert Aldrich (who also co-wrote the screenplay) keeps the tone light, although he and Sinatra reportedly did not get along. It wouldn't be surprising, because this movie is packed with Frank's friends, so what originally was to be more of an Aldrich film veered into more of an OCEAN'S ELEVEN. That said, however, it ain't a bad movie! The whole cast is great, from Victor Buono and Charles Bronson as the baddies to Ursula Andress and Anita Ekberg who, of course, are madly and subserviently in love with our leads, to the entire cast of character actors. Many familiar faces appear, such as Ellen Corby, Fritz Feld, Jack Elam, Richard Jaeckel, Wesley Addy, Arthur Godfrey, Grady Sutton and, yes, the Three Stooges! Special mention has to be made of the always welcome Mount Rushmore of Mike Mazurki as Sinatra's number one henchman and, on the opposite side, the delightful and energetic Nick Dennis and the erudite and elegant Edric Connor as Dean's sidekicks. Another special mention: Nelson Riddle's score. Appropriate, light, bouncy, with great little leitmotifs for the characters (you'll definitely notice some future Batman touches in here). One thing to be aware of: this ain't no PC movie. The women, although fairly well realized as characters, fawn a LOT over Frank and Dean, mainly Frank. It's kind of an adolescent fantasy in that regard. 4 FOR TEXAS is a whole lotta fun from start to finish, and no one takes their roles seriously except for Charles Bronson, who realized that the movie needed one really, really bad guy to act as an anchor for the rest. Maybe the production had its problems, but it came out just fine. Everyone has a rollicking good time, and so will you. Not much in the way of extras on the DVD: an eight-minute "Behind the Scenes" featurette and a trailer, but the Technicolor still looks great. If you're looking for drama, look elsewhere. But, if you're looking for a pleasant evening's entertainment, try 4 FOR TEXAS.

4 For Texas 1963.......2006-04-12

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) and Dean Martin (1917-1995) play wily Business rivals in this wild West lark og gambling and romance . It?s 4 for Texas as the two sars joined by Busty Swedish Anita Ekberg (1931- ) (measurements: 40-22-36 in 1950) and Ursula Andress (1936- ) , vie for oneupmanship at the card tables of 1870s Galverston .The cards hold a lot more fun when the film?s many talented co-stars join in . The three stonges turn up in a trademark slapstick sketch . Preening Victor Buono (1938-1982) is the most deviius , double-crossing villain this side Snidely Whiplash . And Charles Bronson (1921-2003) is rattlesnake-mean gunslinger with a nasty habit of absorbing more lead than he dishes out . At center stagecoach shootout to final riverboat melee , pals Sinatra and Martin clearly have a blast , So will you . High Quality digital transfer .
