What happens

The King and Four Queens is a 1956 American western adventure comedy mystery film starring Clark Gable as adventurer Dan Kehoe and Eleanor Parker as wife/widow Sabina McDade. It was filmed on location in CinemaScope. Directed by Raoul Walsh, the film is based on a story written by Margaret Fitts, who also wrote the screenplay along with Richard Alan Simmons. This film was the first (and last) project from Clark Gable's own production company, GABCO. His partners in the project were movie star Jane Russell and her husband, Bob Waterfield, owners of Russ-Field Productions, and the film is often listed as a Russ-Field-GABCO production.
