Description

[Machine Translation] In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Ishihara Promotions, five never-before-released theatrical films are now available on Blu-ray all at the same time! Yujiro Ishihara poured his boundless passion, spent enormous time and effort, and risked his life to create these films, and now they are finally available on Blu-ray! For the sake of his children, a soldier decides to walk 1,300 kilometers. But the soldier has a dark past on the battlefield... What is humanism? This is a moving drama of human love that transcends national borders and approaches the essence of war and human nature. An American captain who has seen hell on the battlefield makes a reckless bet to walk 1,300 kilometers in two weeks from Tokyo to Kyushu for the construction of an orphanage. When a military reporter played by Yujiro learns of this, he is outraged because he witnessed the captain ruthlessly kill a child in the battlefield... A moving story about human dignity and love that transcends national borders. This much-talked-about film features a star-studded cast including Frank Sinatra Jr. --A freelance news photographer, Hiroshi Kitabayashi (Yujiro Ishihara), sees an advertisement in "The Star-Spangled Banner" and becomes furious. The ad reads, "Place a bet that Captain Allen, an American soldier, can walk the 1,300 kilometers from Zama to Beppu in two weeks. If he succeeds, the money will be donated to an orphanage in Beppu. Beilin, however, had witnessed Allen accidentally shoot and kill a civilian couple during the Korean War and tried to dissuade him from walking, saying that a person who created orphans had no right to donate money to an orphanage. Allen won the bet and the renovation of the orphanage began. The director of the orphanage, Ms. Yamada (Michiyo Niinju), tells Allen that she was inspired by a child who told her, "I want a reinforced concrete house that doesn't leak rain. Allen is unable to raise the funds and walks again the following year. With the cooperation of the newspaper company, the construction was completed. Kitabayashi reported to Allen, whom he met again on the front lines in Vietnam. A few days later, Allen is killed in an enemy attack while driving a jeep.

ある兵士の賭け [Blu-ray] / 邦画

今まで一度もソフト化していなかった門外不出の劇場映画5作品を石原プロモーション設立50周年を記念して、一挙同時にBlu-ray化! 石原裕次郎が限りない情熱を注ぎ、莫大な時間と労力を費やし、命がけで作り上げた映画作品がついに発売! 子供達のために、ある兵士は1300キロの道を歩く決意をした。しかし兵士は戦場で暗い過去があった・・・。ヒューマニズムとは何か? 国境を超えて、戦争と人間の本質に迫る、感動の人間愛ドラマ。戦場で地獄を見たアメリカ軍の大尉が、児童養護施設建設のために、東京から九州まで二週間で1300キロを歩く、という無謀な賭けをする。それを知った裕次郎扮する従軍記者は、大尉が戦地で無慈悲にも子供を殺した現場を目撃していたために、憤りを覚えるが・・・人間の尊厳をテーマに、国境を超えた人間愛を描く感動篇。フランク・シナトラ・ジュニア、新珠三千代、三船敏郎、浅丘ルリ子をはじめとする豪華キャストによる話題作。――フリーの報道カメラマンである北林宏 (石原裕次郎) は「星条旗紙」に掲載された広告を見て、激しい怒りを覚える。内容は「米兵士アレン大尉が座間から別府までの1300キロを2週間で歩けるか賭けをしてほしい。成功すれば掛け金を別府の孤児院に寄付する」というものだった。しかし北林は、朝鮮戦争でアレンが市民夫婦を誤って射殺した現場を目撃しており、孤児を作り出した人間に孤児院への寄付などする資格はないと、本人に歩くことをやめさせようとした。アレンは賭けに勝ち、孤児院の改築工事が始まった。園長の山田 (新珠三千代) はアレンに子供から「雨の洩らない鉄筋コンクリートの家が欲しい」と言われたことがきっかけであることを語る。資金が続かず翌年も歩くアレン。その後新聞社の協力で工事は完成。北林はベトナムの最前線で再会したアレンに報告。それから数日後、アレンはジープで走行中、敵の攻撃により戦死する・・・。
