Description

[Machine Translation] That night, the rustling of pale blood began to be heard - in the forested women-only house... A shocking film that surpasses "Rosemary's Baby"! A unique masterpiece by the golden duo of Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel has been re-released in a new master version! --At the end of the Civil War, a Union corporal with a seriously injured leg is brought to a women-only boarding house where women live a self-sufficient life. The corporal receives devoted nursing care and gradually recovers, but the women, frustrated by their isolation from the world of women only, gradually become captivated by the corporal's charms. When lust, jealousy, and competition ignite, a horrifying tragedy awaits them... Directed by Don Siegel and starring Clint Eastwood. This is the third film by this powerful duo, who have worked in partnership on five films, culminating in "Dirty Harry," and it is a film that is an outpouring of anomalies that both profess to be the best work of their collaboration. This is the only film in which Eastwood is killed by another actor (and his leg is amputated and he is killed with poison mushrooms! ), this is a very rare and precious film. During the filming of his second film with Don Siegel, "Midday Struggle," Eastwood read Thomas Cullinan's novel "The Deceived" and liked it so much that he immediately gave the novel to Don Siegel, the director. Siegel agreed that the project had great potential, and the decision was made to make it into a film. The film was a big hit, and it was a logical next step after the success of the macaroni western trilogy of "The Wilderness Bouncer," "The Gunman of the Evening Sun" and "The Gunman of the Evening Sun," as well as "Let Them Hang High" and "The Eagle's Fortress" after his return to the United States. (The Fortress of the Eagle), and "Manhattan MUJI," both of which established Eastwood as an action hero, and Siegel, who had previously directed B-grade action films and programmed pictures, were both ambitious filmmakers who were trying something completely new and breaking new ground. The content of the film was a gothic thriller about the fear of women, a complete change from the action and western films of the past. At the time of its release, however, the promotional poster featured Eastwood holding a gun in front of his face, and the artwork made it look as if he had won the Civil War in a great battle. The sight of Eastwood's leg being amputated and killed by poison mushrooms was shocking, but at the same time, the distributor probably had no idea how to promote the new Eastwood. Eastwood and Siegel were disappointed and frustrated by the attitude of the distributors, but both were very pleased with the quality of the film. For some reason, the works of Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel are not often mentioned in the category of American New Cinema due to their name value, but "An Unusual Night in White Skin" is a film that is considered to be one of the best films of the same Universal distributor, New Cinema "The Wandering Cowboy," in terms of its modest content, its contemporariness, and its relationship with its distributor. It is a film with a very similar fate to "The Wandering Cowboy" and "The Breakup," both of which were also distributed by Universal, in terms of its somber content, its contemporaneity, and its relationship with its distributor. It is a so-called "cursed masterpiece. It should be noted that Eastwood made a short film about Don Siegel, "THE BEGUILED: STORY TELLER," during the filming of this movie. This short film, which was later broadcast on TV, is a preview for his next film, Melody of Fear, which will be his directorial debut. In fact, "Melody of Fear," which Eastwood chose as his first film, is a thriller about the fear of being attacked by a woman, as if it were a direct descendant of "An Unusual Night in White Skin," rather than an action or western film, which were Eastwood's forte and could draw an audience. As such, "An Unusual Night in White Skin" is one of Eastwood's most favorite films, and can be seen as the starting point of Eastwood as a filmmaker rather than an action star.

Description in Japanese

白い肌の異常な夜/ 洋画

その夜から蒼ざめた血のざわめきが聞こえはじめた――森ふかい女だけの館に・・・「ローズマリーの赤ちゃん」をしのぐ衝撃作! クリント・イーストウッド×ドン・シーゲル監督、黄金コンビによる異色の傑作がニューマスターで再登場! ――南北戦争末期、女性のみで自給自足の生活を営む寄宿舎に、足に重症を負った北軍の伍長が運び込まれた。献身的な看病を受けた伍長は徐々に回復するが、世間から隔絶した女だけの世界で欲求不満を募らせる女たちは次第に伍長の魅力の虜になっていく。そして欲望と嫉妬心、競争心に火がついたとき、そこには恐怖の惨劇が待っていた・・・。監督ドン・シーゲル、主演クリント・イーストウッド。「ダーティハリー」を頂点として5本の作品でパートナーシップを組んだ最強コンビの3作目にして、ともにそのコラボレーションの最高傑作と公言する異常性が噴出する一作。イーストウッドが劇中にて他人に殺される唯一の作品 (しかも足を切断され、毒キノコで殺される!)という、非常に珍しくも貴重な一作。ドン・シーゲルとの第2作、「真昼の死闘」撮影中、トーマス・カリナンの小説「欺かれた人々」を読んで気に入ったイーストウッドは、さっそく監督のドン・シーゲルに小説を渡した。シーゲルも同様にこの企画は大きな可能性を秘めていると同意し、映画化が決定。それはそれまで「荒野の用心棒」「夕陽のガンマン」「続・夕陽のガンマン」のマカロニ・ウェスタン3部作の大ヒットとアメリカ凱旋後の「奴らを高く吊るせ!」「荒鷲の要塞」「マンハッタン無宿」等でアクションヒーローとしての地位を確立していたイーストウッド、そしてそれまでB級アクションやプログラムピクチャーのしがない監督だったシーゲルの両者にとって、まったく新たな試み、新境地開拓へ挑戦する野心作だった。内容は、それまでのアクションや西部劇から一転、女性の恐怖を描くゴシック風のスリラー。しかし公開当時、宣伝用のポスターではイーストウッドが銃をかまえ、あたかも南北戦争で大活躍して勝利を収めるようなアートワークで宣伝され、配給元のユニバーサルでは宣伝方針や公開規模などが揉めに揉めた結果、プレミア上映は中止、急に一斉公開され一週間で打ち切られた。足を切断され、毒キノコで殺されるイーストウッドの姿は衝撃的であると同時に、新しいイーストウッドの宣伝の仕方がまったく分からなかったのだろう。配給の姿勢に失望と苛立ちを覚えたイーストウッドとシーゲルだったが、作品の出来には両者とも非常に満足していた。クリント・イーストウッドやドン・シーゲルの作品は、そのネームバリューの大きさからか何故かアメリカン・ニューシネマの範疇で語られることが無いが、本作「白い肌の異常な夜」は、その内容の地味さと同時代性、そして配給元との関係性において、同じユニバーサル配給のニューシネマ「さすらいのカウボーイ」や「断絶」と非常に似通った運命を辿った作品といえる。所謂"呪われた傑作"である。また特筆すべきは、本作撮影中にイーストウッドはドン・シーゲルについての短編映画『THE BEGUILED: STORY TELLER』を撮っている。この短編は後にテレビ放映されたらしいが、次に続く初監督作「恐怖のメロディ」の予行演習的な側面を持っている。事実、イーストウッドが初監督作に選んだその「恐怖のメロディ」は、アクションやウェスタンなどイーストウッドが得意としていた、客を呼べるジャンルではなく、「白い肌の異常な夜」をそのまま受け継いだかのような、女性に襲われる恐怖を描くスリラーである。そのようなことからも、本作「白い肌の異常な夜」は、アクションスターではなく映画作家としてのイーストウッドの原点ともいえる作品であり、イーストウッド自身が最も気に入っている作品の一つである。
