''A Lion Walks Among Us'' is a 1961 episode of the TV anthology drama ''Bus Stop'' which was highly controversial because of its depiction of violence. It was an early work of director Robert Altman. ==Plot== The District Attorney's wife, Sally, picks up hitchhiker Luke Freeman on the way to Sunrise Colorado. He makes a play for her but she kicks him out of the car. Luke then robs a grocery store, killing the grocer, Mr Jordan, by throwing him against a table then shooting him dead. After doing this, Luke sings a song to himself, "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray". Luke goes on to visit a tavern, Jeft's Road House, where he starts a brawl after flirting with a young girl, Linda, and singing a song. He pulls a switchblade but before the fight gets too serious Sheriff Will Mayberry intervenes and brings him in for questioning about the shooting at the grocery store. Luke tries to cover, telling a story about the woman who gave him a lift into town and tried to seduce him. The D.A. Glenn Wagner realises he is talking about his wife, and attacks Luke. Luke is arrested for robbery and murder and put on trial. He sings while in prison. Sally is called to give evidence but Luke's lawyer, Oliver West, discredits her by bringing up her alcoholism, her treatment by a psychiatrist and her attraction to Luke. Sally breaks down on the stand and the judge releases Luke on the ground of insufficient evidence. By this stage Luke has a group of female fans, including Linda from the Tavern. Luke needs money for a ticket out of town. He asks Linda, who slaps his face. He then robs and murders his lawyer for the money. Sally swings by and offers him a lift. He accepts but Sally then drives off a cliff, killing them both in a murder-suicide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Lion Walks Among Us」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
