"The King and Four Queens" (1956), a western movie, involves a middle-aged cowboy adventurer (Clark Gable) who learns that a stolen fortune remains buried on a ranch that serves as home to four gorgeous young widows and their battle-axe mother-in-law: the drifter turns on the charm. Directed by Raoul Walsh, the film also features Eleanor Parker. This was the only film that Gable both starred in and produced, for the short-lived Russ-Field-Gabco Productions.
