''Some Came Running'' is a CinemaScope 1958 in Metrocolor American film directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, in a bid to duplicate the success of the multi–Academy Award winning film adaptation of James Jones' earlier novel, ''From Here to Eternity'' (1953), optioned the 1,200-plus-page book, ''Some Came Running'' and cast Frank Sinatra as the lead. Sinatra approved Dean Martin for the role of Bama, in what would be their first film together. Much of the film was shot in and around the town of Madison, Indiana. The supporting cast features Martha Hyer, Arthur Kennedy and Nancy Gates. MacLaine garnered her first Academy Award nomination, which she credited to Sinatra for his insistence on changing the film's ending. ==Plot== Dave Hirsh (Frank Sinatra) is a cynical Army veteran who winds up in his hometown of Parkman after being put on a bus in Chicago while intoxicated. Ginny Moorehead (Shirley MacLaine), a woman of seemingly loose morals and poor education, was invited by Dave in his drunken state, but gives her money to return to Chicago because it was a mistake. Hirsh had left Parkman 16 years before when his older brother, Frank (Arthur Kennedy), placed him in a charity boarding school, and is still embittered. Frank has since married well, inherited a jewelry business from the father of his wife Agnes (Leora Dana), and made their social status his highest priority. Dave's return threatens this, so Frank makes a fruitless stab at arranging respectability, introducing him to his friend Professor French (Larry Gates) and his daughter Gwen (Martha Hyer), a schoolteacher. Dave moves in different circles than his brother would prefer, however. He befriends Bama Dillert (Dean Martin), a gambler who has also settled in Parkman. Two factors seem to offer Dave hope and redemption: he takes a fatherly interest in his niece, Frank's daughter, Dawn (Betty Lou Keim), and falls in love with Gwen. Despite his somewhat notorious reputation, Dave is basically a good, honest man, well aware of his own shortcomings. His cynicism is often a mask to hide the pain of rejection. Though Ginny is not his social or intellectual match, he eventually sees the basic good in her and responds to her unconditional love. In the end, Ginny, stalked by her former boyfriend (a Chicago hoodlum), proves the depth of her love for Dave by taking a fatal bullet for him. 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「Some Came Running (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
