I really don’t want to give too much of this movie away but basically you have four people trying to open a riverboat casino. First independently and then together. Dean Martin, Ursula Andress, Frank Sinatra, and Anita Eckberg star. Super Movie, lots of Laughter, fun for Everyone. Not a heavy movie that’s giving you a deep message. Just a movie that you can sit back and be entertained.
The Far West has never been far out!
After repulsing the bandits, Zack (Sinatra) discloses a bag containing $100,000, and Joe (Martin) unexpectedly relieves him of the money at gunpoint…
In Galveston, Joe deposits the money in a bank run by Harvey Burden (Buono), a thief who has supported Zack’s efforts to become the town’s gambling king…
When Zack arrives in town, Matson tries to kill him, but Joe interferes, saving Zack’s life…Then Zack learns that Joe intends to compete with him by converting an abandoned riverboat into a gambling saloon… Outraged, he raises a gang, intending to take over the boat on opening night… But Burden has plans of his own…
Much of the plot, such as it is, is taken up with the comic rivalry between Martin and Sinatra, involving with womanizing and gambling… The three Stooges doing one of their ancient routines provide a gay moment… Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress are an absolute pleasure to look at… And if you want to know the answer of Joe to Ursula’s commentary: “You didn’t notice what I’m wearing,” don’t miss this nice, civilized picture
