''Comanche Station'' is a 1960 American CinemaScope western Eastman Color film directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott, Nancy Gates and Claude Akins. The film was the last of Boetticher's late 1950s ''Ranown Cycle''. This was filmed in the northern California region of Lone Pine, California, near the foot of Mount Whitney. The mountainous accumulations of boulders, known as the Alabama Hills, California served as the backdrop for the film's opening and closing scenes.〔http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/19798/Comanche-Station/articles.html〕 ==Plot== Jefferson Cody (Randolph Scott), whose wife was captured by Comanches, frees another man's wife and is taking her home. Three outlaws, led by the charming but malevolent Ben Lane (Claude Akins), reveal that the woman's husband has offered a $5,000 reward, making the woman, Lolrdsburg resident Mrs. Lowe (Nancy Gates), suspicious of Cody's motives in coming to her rescue. Lane is known to Cody, who helped court-martial him from the army for killing "tame" Indians. Lane led a raiding party to take Comanche scalps; they now seek revenge and kill one of Lane's men, Frank (Skip Homeier). Lane attaches himself to Cody, intending to make it look like the Comanches killed Cody and to take the reward for himself. Although her husband did not try to find her himself, the reward for the return of Mrs. Lowe is "dead or alive," so Lane prefers dead so she won't be able to testify against him. He tries to ambush her and Cody, and when partner Dobie (Richard Rust) refuses to help, Lane shoots him. In a showdown in the hills, Cody gets the better of Lane. He escorts the woman back home, discovering that her husband is blind. Before he can be paid the $5,000, Cody rides away. The town of Lordsburg is mentioned some 20 times in the movie, but not visited once. 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「Comanche Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
