It starred Esther Williams as the Roman woman Amytis, Howard Keel as Hannibal, the Carthaginian military commander and George Sanders as Fabius Maximus, Amytis's fiance. In the film, Amytis helps Hannibal swim the Tiber River to take a closer look at Rome's fortifications. The film features many historical characters, including Roman generals Fabius Maximus and Scipio Africanus who appears briefly, in addition to Hannibal. Carthaginians Mago Barca and Maharbal also appear. ''Jupiter's Darling'' was based on Robert E. Sherwood's anti-war comedy play ''The Road to Rome'' (1927).〔(New York Times review )〕 The film was the last of three films Williams and Keel made together, the other two being ''Pagan Love Song'' (1950) and ''Texas Carnival'' (1951). ==Cast== *Esther Williams as Amytis *Howard Keel as Hannibal *Marge Champion as Meta *Gower Champion as Varius *George Sanders as Fabius Maximus *Richard Haydn as Horatio *William Demarest as Mago *Norma Varden as Fabia *Douglass Dumbrille as Scipio *Henry Corden as Carthalo *Michael Ansara as Maharbal *Martha Wentworth as Widow Titus *John Olszewski as Principal Swimming Statue * Esther Williams' singing voice dubbed by Jo Ann Greer 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「Jupiter's Darling (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
