The picture was produced by Gregory Peck, the third and last feature film he would produce.〔.〕〔Peck's gamble Mills, Bart. Chicago Tribune (1963-Current file) (Ill ) 09 June 1974: h64.〕 The drama is based on the real life experiences of Robin Lee Graham, a young man who spent five years sailing around the world as a single-handed sailor, starting when he was 16 years old. The story is adapted from ''Dove'' (1972), the book Graham co-wrote with Derek L.T. Gill about his seafaring experiences. ==Plot== The film tells of real-life Robin Lee Graham (Joseph Bottoms), a 16-year-old boy who sets out in a 23-foot sloop and is determined to be the youngest person to circumnavigate the world. He had planned the long trip with his sailor father Lyle Graham (John McLiam) for years. He sets sail on his journey and on one of his stops he meets and falls in love with the gregarious and attractive young woman, Patti Ratteree (Deborah Raffin). After much banter, Patti decides to follow Graham throughout his long journey. She meets him in Fiji, Australia, South Africa, Panama, and the Galápagos Islands. As he travels around the globe, Graham experiences many adventures on the sea and land as he grows from a teenager to a young adult. Yet Graham finds the trip a very lonely experience, especially when the wind dies on him on the high seas. At one point he badly wants to quit the voyage but Patti (now his new wife) and his father talk him out of it. At the end of the film Graham sails into Los Angeles with crowds welcoming him home. 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 Dove (1974 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
