 Five Card Stud 
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. Martin and Mitchum sleepwalk through their roles, 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. Stars: Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Inger Stevens, Roddy McDowall, Katherine Justice.
