♦Drive-In Classic♦ 'FOUR BOYS AND A GUN' (1957) Frank SUTTON, James FRANCISCUS

[@rokkitjskwerl2098]

This should have been named "Four Half Wits Try to Find a Brain." I loved it!

[@garyc39]

for real

[@joekabotz734]

Yes the four stooges

[@skybabe1959]

That was so well done! I wasn't sure about it going in, i'm so happy I watched. Boy, one wrong move!!! Thanx Rob!!!!

[@robtw88]

You're welcome!

[@tpe54]

Thanks, just what I was needing! there is always a Johnny in every noir... ....Sgt Carter B4 he joined the marines, Jazz music and juvenile delinquents, Love these late 50a B&Ws

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

Mr Frank Sutton was a dream.

[@robtw88]

He was great as Sgt. Carter on Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.! He died of a heart attack at the age of 50 R.I.P.

[@WK11223]

😂Ollie yelling at Pyle.😂

[@DanielLiebert-i1p]

He was, in the 50's a top and much honored actor and it is sad to see him wasted doing one-note performances on TV comedies.

[@realskybluepink9124]

Good one, I've never seen or heard of, thank you for another film worth watching!

[@bobdownes162]

Excellent ! Particularly liked, where, near the end of the movie, the disagreements the 4, had with eachother- Brilliant writing.

[@patrickryan1515]

Frank Sutton did some very convincing acting here. In fact the entire cast did. A 'B' movie that gets an 'A' in my book.

[@brettlehman1114]

Agreed, I know some are not happy with the ending but plenty of very good movies have ambiguous endings. It's very hard to call this a B movie with such a tight script and great cast.

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

Mr Sutton was the SERIOUSLY CUTEST actor. WHAT A DOLL!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevenhamilton5342]

I'm a constant source of amazement to my friends with my knowledge of movie trivia and obscure movies, good and awful and I can't believe I never heard of this one. And to top it off, It ain't bad!

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

Three boys and gun. Oh, what a DREAM.

[@richardlangton6804]

Dese punks got no class . Tanks for this. It was a real blast

[@twinkle3026]

Love films like this! Stanley is so cute! xxx

[@johndeleo563]

Great movie! Wasn’t the ending I wanted.

[@peterwarren6418]

It ended abruptly, never saw who went to the chair. It was right ending

[@shannonbeaulieu6447]

This is a very good movie 🍿🎥

[@rogermaes6001]

"Four Empty Heads Seeking for a Brain" could be the title of this film ...and the nickname of a lot of governments on the planet these days.

[@deborahrigby5428]

Interesting movie and excellent actors, who all but one was on naked city💝💖❤️❣️🎉Thank you for uploading💖

[@davidzumpe3239]

When I was a kid, I learnt there's always someone that blabs.

[@mikemarley2389]

Yeah no shit man.

[@cynthiamcgee5403]

This is why I always said if I do anything criminal don't let no one know loose lips sinks ships there are no friends in the end

[@mikemarley2389]

Well what has happened so far ?

[@marieannwalsh662]

Great movie. Great script.

[@sheristewart3940]

Powerful picture!

[@alvingantt4499]

Love this movie

[@brettlehman1114]

Thank you Rob W, you post some highly underrated quick little flicks. I can't believe you don't 10x the subs. New one here.

[@robtw88]

Thanks for the sub!

[@garygone5234]

An all star cast, great acting, and a well written script. Everything this movie doesn't have. Lol 😏

[@Richard-me2pq]

Eddie stop carrying a torch for this dame!

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

The fight scene must have been hard on Mr Sutton. Him getting smacked and thrown on the pool table. OUCH!!!!!!

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

OMG, was Mr Sutton a living DOLL in this movie. Well he a DOLL period.

[@Troy_nov1965]

Sgt. Carter !

[@hurryandleave9680]

Well, gor-or-lee!

[@kidmack3556]

"MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT! - I CAN'T HEAR YOOUUU!"

[@buxombeautease]

After 49:00, Sid Raymond, voice of Katnip and Baby Huey, is somewhat visible but very audible as a cab driver.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

J Pat O'Malley as Johnny's boxing manager 👌🏻

[@pedroarranz313]

07:00 Is there any reason why people in these movies never drink the beer they asked (and paid) for?

[@kidmack3556]

It's a common occurrence in film and television. Not drinking nor eating the props. In 1974, my godfather's mother, who was a movie lover, pointed this out to me when we were watching something together. She pointed out how the actor on screen was really enjoying his meal, when most performers usually "play" with whatever is in front of them during the scene. That's why Warren Beatty eating that Eskimo Pie ice cream in Bonnie & Clyde (1967) really stands out to me as being a great scene and his craftsmanship. He's in control of his lines and the ice cream bar and tearing that ice cream UP! And his co-star Faye Dunaway didn't do badly with the hamburger either.

[@realskybluepink9124]

Generally, the prop foods or cigs used in films aren't eaten, smoked, due to film continuity issues. Need the Master Shot, and keeping those quantities of food, etc., in proper order is difficult. Also, often the foods are fake, too. Michael Caine mentioned this in an acting class somewhere here on utoob also.

[@Bill23799]

This was a pretty good film. Young James Franciscus went on to star as a young police detective in the TV Series " The Naked City ".

[@kidmack3556]

Then he had his own show in 1970-71 "Longstreet"

[@johncasciello4123]

Is it possible what,s causing EDDIE to feel like it,s all crashing down on him is starting every day in that kitchen with all those CLASHING TABLE CLOTHS,CURTAINS and MOMS APRON designs/patterns that all DON'T MATCH!

[@vleldaddio210]

All Guilty no matter who pulled the trigger 💰☑️💯by association ⁉️

[@sandyjoiner3225]

Sgt. Carter

[@chrisbowen9043]

I don't buy that bit about the price of eggs being too high. They've always been the best bang for a buck! (and I'm 71)

[@autumnleaves2766]

Remember watching this film around 1999 or 2000 when I lived in Italy, it was on a satellite channel that showed lots of little-known movies. The acting is actually quite good. Not a bad movie at all and was no doubt made on a very low budget. Frank Sutton who plays Ollie died of a heart attack in 1974 aged just 50. James Franciscus died in 1991 aged 57, and Bill Hinnant who plays Stanley drowned whilst on holiday in 1978 aged just 42. Can't find anything much about Tarry Green.

[@master-kq3nw]

great noir

[@Dion-rz3fz]

Their all so afraid of going to the "chair." There's no way they ALL would have gotten capital punishment. Only one, if it could have been proven, or if they all testified against the one.

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

9:35 I think the cop on the left once appeared in All In The Family when he unlawfully confiscated Archie's pepper spray.

[@scottmckay9535]

SHAZZAM!! Sgt. Carter was a crook? How'd he get in the Marines?

[@rahkinrah1963]

Thank you for reminding me who he played!. I was wracking my head!

[@barneygilewitz6722]

He was actually in the service during WW2, so hardly a boy.

[@barneygilewitz6722]

There is no privacy in the jail - they could have been recorded by the cops who could have listened in.

[@thomascherney5630]

Sargent Carter looks as if he "s 40 in this film !

[@buckroo8424]

There’s a young James Franciscus of “Mr Novak” fame! He’s the good looking guy

[@owenmadden7577]

This was his film debut.

[@rahkinrah1963]

Wasn't he Dr. Kildare?

[@cheeptrick5464]

Eddie looks like Ross from Friends.

[@XNTN808]

i was hoping they would all get the chamber in the first five minutes of the movie

[@collincovid6950]

All should fry, all being equal

[@drinkbloodsavewater4530]

Awesome movie 🎥👌👏👍

[@billscott2457]

Sargent Carter ! Gomers boss.

[@adnanazix8217]

sgt carter

[@jasoncollins1702]

Top script! It's like 12 Angry Men from the other side of the courtroom.

[@jaysoper3974]

the trolley problem again

[@calvinbealer7264]

4 Stooges and a Gun

[@SAMSON-X2]

I Say It's The Cop's Fault. He Should Have Never Been There ! No One Would Have Died Then. And Johnny Would Have Never Been Shot In The Leg . There's Always Somebody In The Way .

[@johnbockelie3899]

For Vince Carter, it was a choice, either the Marines, or jail. He picked the Marines.

[@Dion-rz3fz]

@@johnbockelie3899 Yeah, but he got punished anyway, He had to put up with Gomer!

[@mrsteveinsandiego]

'course you heard about the gal jan who tossed a world record discus. her folks decided to frame jan's discus. ;)

[@johnbockelie3899]

I liked the looks on Carter's face when he got busted.

[@andrewbillingsley9377]

Steve, You really worked on that. Well done.

[@cm9439]

Well done, Steve.

[@saberzer094]

Classic movie fight scenes only highlight ppl making these movies either didn’t know what a real fight look like or ppl in the old days didn’t know how to fight at all.

[@Frank-mm2yp]

In 2022- "FOUR GUNS AND A BOY"

[@johndeardorff5023]

frank sutton, long before gomer pyle usmc, james franciscus before making it big in the 70s

[@keithmotsinger918]

Not the point , but looked like the policeman shot first , and really undefeated fighter , this manager turns him down? WTH.

[@rolondoballewbatte9817]

What happened to Tarry Green?

[@saulchapnick1566]

Ok, what’s your answer, who had the gun? Answer “Lawyer up!”

[@davidweston9115]

guy at 36:03 reminds me of Johnny Soprano.

[@stevenhamilton5342]

Would have been much more effective if the ending wasn't given away at the beginning creating the flashback framework, but still much better than expected.

[@Retroscoop]

There are always jobs for young fellows... Clearly from before the bosses of Western companies discovered the cheap labour countries. It's always been like that since the start of the industrial revolution. The first textile factories opened in cities, but then the bosses discovered that labourers on the countryside will be cheaper. If ever there are really Martians, you may rest assured some folks with suits and ties will want to know whether they are cheaper than the Chinese, Vietnamese or Cambodians.

[@mikemarley2389]

Yeah sure.

[@blackfinjrblackfinjr3555]

Great!!! Thanks for the GREAT info!! It’s truly AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
