Movie Info

The four McDade brothers stage a successful heist -- except that three of them are killed. When their wives and mother learn that only one of the young men survived with the loot, they are eager to find out which one. Slick traveler Dan Kehoe (Clark Gable) catches wind of this strange situation and decides to charm the women in hopes of eventually enjoying the spoils. Before long, however, the lonely females begin competing for Dan, disintegrating into a cut-throat battle royal for his heart.

Audience Reviews for The King and Four Queens

  • Jul 15, 2020
    Uneven, disjointed, poorly plotted, poorly written, sloppily executed, whatever happens onscreen is merely an exercise in putting the butts in seats and that's it. Gable schmoozes through the film without outright snickering at it (and there might be acting cred for that small thing) and the ending is foregone at the opening credits. Only Jo Van Fleet's performance registers at all, and she does manage to bring the goods. Is the rest of the film even a Western? It says that it is but any location or scene change and it would still play the same. Regrettably.

    This is a boring movie I saw on TV, I didn't even watch it all since I was so bored with it, but if you like westerns and silly romance movies, maybe you'll enjoy it.
