The Wonderful Country is a 1959 Technicolor Western film based on Tom Lea's novel of the same name that was produced by Robert Mitchum's DRM Production company in Mexico. Mitchum stars along with Julie London. Baseball pitcher Satchel Paige plays a soldier in the film, and Lea has a cameo as a barber. ==Plot== Mercenary Martin Brady is employed by the Castro brothers, Marcos (Victor Manuel Mendoza), a general, and Cipriano (Pedro Armendáriz), a governor. On a business trip to the United States to arrange the sale of a wagonload of rifles and ammunition, he is delayed when he breaks his leg in an accident. Treated by Dr Stovall (Charles McGraw), he stays in the Texas town of Puerto with two German Americans, Ben (John Banner) and Ludwig (Max Slaten), to recover. Brady's expertise is sought by the commanders of the local U.S. Army, Major Colton (Gary Merrill) and Texas Rangers Captain Rucker (Albert Dekker), who are planning a mission against hostile Apaches in Mexico. Captain Rucker knows that Brady avenged the murder of his father but no charges are standing. However, his falling in love with Colton's unhappy wife Helen (Julie London), and also his shooting a stranger (Chuck Roberson) who murdered Ludwig and then drew on Brady, sends him back to Mexico. Brady finds himself between the ambitious Castro brothers and assisting the U.S. Army's Buffalo Soldiers led by a wounded Major Colton and his sergeant (Satchel Paige). A wanted man in both lands, Brady must decide which way to go. After the major's death, Captain Rucker offers to help prove that the shooting in Puerto was a case of self-defense. Helen is uncertain as to whether they have a future together, but Brady decides to risk it and heads back from Mexico across the river to the U.S. 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 Wonderful Country (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
