Review of The King and Four Queens (1956) by Jeff Z — 10 Dec 2009
Enjoyable if forgotten little western starring the King, Clark Gable as a drifter who's out to find the gold hidden on an out of the way ranch occupied by a crusty old lady and her 4 lonely and beautiful daughters-in-law (Barbara Nichols, Eleanor Parker, Jean Willes, Sara Shane).
The women may all be widows and haven't seen their men in years so are all man-hungry in their own ways. Getting near the end of his life and career, Gable is still as smooth and watchable as ever.
Not one of his greatest films, but a nice little buried treasure.
