    Clark Gable and four beautiful women in the Old West

    An opportunistic man in the Southwest (Gable) travels to a ranch owned by a cantankerous mother of four outlaws, all of whom are dead except maybe one. Their four wives have been without a man for two years and everyone seems obsessed with stolen loot buried somewhere on the property.

    The King and Four Queens (1956) features a set-up reminiscent of The Beguiled fifteen years later. The difference is that Eastwoods flick is a serious tragedy whereas this one has fun spirit beneath it all, not to mention a wholly contrived story that essentially sinks the proceedings. Yet Gable has his great masculine charisma and was still lean at 55 years-old during shooting. And you cant beat...
