''The Deserter'' (''La Spina Dorsale Del Diavolo'') is a 1971 Italian-American Western film by Dino De Laurentiis. It was directed by Burt Kennedy, known for his penchant in directing westerns, including ''The War Wagon'' (1967), ''Support Your Local Sheriff!'' (1969) and ''The Train Robbers'' (1973). Scripted in the style of ''The Dirty Dozen'' (1967), and designed as a vehicle for Yugoslavian theater and film matinee idol Bekim Fehmiu, the film featured an ensemble cast of well-known American actors. Noted for ''Shane'' (1953), actor Brandon deWilde appears in his last Western film before his death the following year.〔(RememberingBrandon.net )〕〔(Wildest Westerns Magazine )〕 The film was shot largely on location in Italy, Spain and Yugoslavia. Many exterior scenes were filmed at the Fort Bowie set built in the Province of Almería, Spain, where the desert landscape and climate that characterizes part of the province have made it a much utilized setting for Western films, among those ''A Fistful of Dollars'' (1964), ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' (1966) and later ''800 Bullets'' (2002). This same set was also used in the films ''Blindman'' (1971) with Ringo Starr and ''A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die'' (1972).〔(Western Locations Spain )〕 ==Cast== * Bekim Fehmiu as Captain Victor Kaleb * John Huston as General Miles * Richard Crenna as Colonel Wade Brown * Chuck Connors as Chaplain Reynolds * Ricardo Montalban as Natachai * Ian Bannen as Captain Crawford * Brandon deWilde as Lieutenant Ferguson * Slim Pickens as Tattinger * Woody Strode as Jackson * Albert Salmi as Schmidt * Patrick Wayne (as Pat Wayne) as Captain Bill Robinson * Fausto Tozzi as Orozco * Mimmo Palmara as Chief Mangus Durango * John Alderson as O'Toole 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「The Deserter (1971 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
