''The Spikes Gang'' is a 1974 Mirisch Company motion picture adaptation of the Giles Tippette novel ''The Bank Robber''. It was directed by Richard Fleischer and starred Lee Marvin, Gary Grimes, Charles Martin Smith and Ron Howard. ==Overview== Starring Lee Marvin as an aging bank robber of the American Old West, the film follows his encounters with three coming of age farm boys played by Gary Grimes, Charles Martin Smith, and Ron Howard. Veteran character actors Arthur Hunnicutt and Noah Beery, Jr. both appear in separate "scene stealing" performances. It was filmed in Tabernas, Almeria, and Andalucia, in Spain. The production style of director Richard Fleischer received generally favorable reviews. "It was only the second matchup for the director and Marvin and the actor gives a seething, unpredictable performance as the untrustworthy Harry Spikes. You can see why a trio of farmhands, well-played by his co-stars, would want to emulate him; you can also see why they come to resist the lethal charm of his coercion.", wrote one critic.〔 Ron Howard later praised producer Walter Mirisch saying, "When I...acted in one of his productions, ''The Spikes Gang'', I learned that a prolific and brilliant producer could also be a terrific guy and a wonderful teacher." 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 Spikes Gang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
