In this new feature, we'll periodically run the original film titles of famous motion pictures. You would be amazed at how many well-known films had their titles changed just prior to release!
This rare British trade magazine ad illustrates the 1964 western comedy "4 for Texas" that starred Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ursula Andress and Anita Ekberg. Did you know the film was actually shot under the title of "Two for Texas"? Presumably, the original title was amended to give equally billing to the voluptuous female stars. Not to be crude, but "Four for Texas" could have referred to only Andress and Ekberg! Also, Bette Davis was announced as having a major role in the film but for reasons unknown dropped out of the production.
