William Barnaby "Barby" Faherty, S.J.〔(William Faherty Obituary, ''Jesuit Missouri'' )〕〔http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/obituaries/rev-william-barnaby-faherty-dies-at-chronicled-st-louis/article_e3a59609-b71b-5c99-a93b-dd2697e659c4.html〕〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=75381165〕 The film is directed by Frenchman Henri Verneuil, it stars Anthony Quinn and Charles Bronson. The score is by Ennio Morricone. It is a rare instance of a spaghetti western actually being shot in Mexico instead of substituting Spain or some similar European location. ==Plot== In 1743, a womanizing atheist outlaw, Leon Alastray (Anthony Quinn), is pursued by the Spanish military. Given sanctuary by an altruistic priest (Sam Jaffe), he is taken to a village terrorized by marauding Indians. When the priest is killed, Alastray is mistaken for a priest himself. This he at first denies but, finding the love of a village woman, and encouraged by the persuasive power of a fake miracle, decides to take on the role and thereby organize the villagers against the predatory raids of the Yaqui Indians. Teclo (Charles Bronson) is a half-breed leader of marauders who pretends to side with the villagers but is really in league with the Yaqui. When Alastray attempts to make peace with the Yaqui, Teclo intervenes and foments a conflict. Whilst Alastray organises the men of the village to build a dam to increase the amount water of the area and have a higher yield of corn, the Yaqui attack and massacre many of the inhabitants of the village. The angry villagers order the priest out, but Alastray returns to the provincial capital and obtains a large amount of muskets and a cannon for the village. Just before a battle, the villagers ask Alastray to hold a mass. At this point he confesses to the villagers that he is not a priest. They nonetheless accept him and together they defeat the Yaqui. Alastray flees the military again, this time accompanied by the woman he loves. 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「Guns for San Sebastian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
