5 Card Stud is a 1968 Western, released by Paramount Pictures. Directed by Henry Hathaway, the script was written by Marguerite Roberts who also wrote the screenplay of True Grit for Hathaway the following year. The film features two stars known for their casual underplaying: Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum. The supporting cast includes Roddy McDowall, Inger Stevens, Katherine Justice, John Anderson, Yaphet Kotto, and Denver Pyle.
Martin plays a gambler who is falsely implicated in the lynching of a fellow gambler caught cheating. Mitchum is a gun-toting preacher. As the lynchers are killed off one by one, it becomes clear that someone is taking revenge; and it is up to Martin to solve the mystery as he becomes the next target of the killer.
