Movie Reviews of Five Card Stud
Movie Review: A Must for Dean Martin Western Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Dean Martin once delt cards for money, and knew a lot of card tricks that wowed his children.. Dean knew cards.. And he knew movies that worked..
I love the old Dean Martin Variety shows. On them he would mention that he was working on westerns and would add a little western flavor to the show. Deano had a ranch and loved his horses and he had a few he really prized.
FIVE CARD STUD Starring Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Inger Stevens, Roddy McDowall, and Katherine Justice, is a very well written western I'd classify as a western action/drama. It is heavy on the drama of one dangerous card game and the action that unfolds from it. Robert Mitchum plays cool and tough (as usual) and Roddy McDowall's character is played very well. Dean shines in this movie and his charachter is likable and believable. You'll like the twists as well as the ending!
***Other Dean Martin & Western Suggestions:
"Rio Bravo" with "The Duke" John Wayne (another 5 star performance!)
"Seargeants 3" with Frank Sinatra
"4 For Texas" with Frank Sinatra
I think most guys have a few good westerns in their DVD collections. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, The Highwayman's "Stage Coach", and Sinatra & Martin are in some of mine.
Many Women seem to love 'period pieces' with all the costumes and scenery like the Janette Oke series. Nice, but I like the "western" 'grit' in movies like this one, "Five Card Stud". I highly recommend it for the poker lover who likes westerns too.
Summary of Five Card Stud
No Description Available.Genre: Westerns
Rating: PG
Release Date: 2-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
Paramount released a first-rate Western, El Dorado, in 1967, and another, True Grit, in 1969. So why was the studio's 1968 oater such a hunk of buzzard bait? You know Five Card Stud's in trouble from the opening credits--they're too short to accommodate the Dean Martin title song, so that it spills awkwardly into the first scene. The timing never does come out right--not in the lethargic pacing, not in the lax editing (which often leaves cast members stranded onscreen at scene's end), and not in the herky-jerky screenplay, which either lurches over intervals of weeks (months?) or piles up enough calamities in one day to stock a sequel. Even the end comes five minutes and two anticlimactic scenes late.
An after-hours poker game is underway as the film begins. A stranger is caught cheating and, over the objection of professional gambler Dean Martin, lynched. Soon there's another stranger in town, black-clad preacher Robert Mitchum, and participants in the fatal card game start dying grotesque, solitary deaths. Five Card Stud wants to be a psychological mystery, but there's scant psychology and no mystery at all beyond why the filmmakers thought any viewer could fail to figure it out. Martin and Mitchum sleepwalk through their roles (Martin's includes a glum, ludicrously written romance with brothel-keeper Inger Stevens), while Roddy McDowall camps up his turn as spoiled son of the local range baron. Somewhere in the middle, the young Yaphet Kotto plays it admirably cool as a philosophical bartender. --Richard T. Jameson
