"Texas Across The River" is a 1966 western movie comedy with Dean Martin and Joey Bishop. The film was directed by Michael Gordon. The movie seemed to be a spoof of "How the West was Won".

Plot

The film opens with the marriage of Phoebe Ann Naylor (Rosemary Forsyth) to Don Andrea Baldazar, El Duce de la Casala (Alain Delon) in Louisiana. The festivities are broken up with the arrival of Yancey Cottle (Stuart Anderson) and his relatives, who form a U.S. cavalry unit under the command of Cottle's cousin, Captain Rodney Stimpson (Peter Graves). When Cottle is killed Don Andrea is charged with murder, he flees, promising to meet up with Phoebe Ann across the river in Texas, not yet a U.S. state. In the wake of the failed wedding, Phoebe Ann is sent to Texas to lie low until the scandal blows over, her wagon train is helped by Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) and his Indian sidekick, Kronk (Joey Bishop). Along the way, Hollis gets separated from the wagon train and meets up with Don Andrea, whom he calls Baldy, and the two form an antagonistic relationship, as well as a love-triangle with Phoebe Ann, made more complex by the Indian maiden Loneta (Tina Aumont), and the men's attempts to keep a Comanche raiding party at bay.

oundtrack
