Ralph Meeker
Oyuncu · 1920 – 1988 · Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Ralph Meeker (born Ralph Rathgeber; November 21, 1920 – August 5, 1988) was an American actor. He first rose to prominence for his roles in the Broadway productions of Mister Roberts (1948–1951) and Picnic (1953), the former of which earned him a Theatre World Award for his performance. In film, Meeker is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Mike Hammer in Robert Aldrich's 1955 Kiss Me Deadly. Meeker went on to play a series of roles that used his husky and macho screen presence, including a lead role in Stanley Kubrick's military courtroom drama Paths of Glory (1957), as a troubled mechanic opposite Carroll Baker in Something Wild (1961), as a World War II captain in The Dirty Dozen (1967), and in the gangster film The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967). Other credits include supporting roles in I Walk the Line (1970) and Sidney Lumet's The Anderson Tapes (1971). He also had a prolific career in television, appearing as Sergeant Steve Dekker on the series Not for Hire (1959–1960), and in the television horror film The Night Stalker (1972). After suffering a stroke in 1980, Meeker was forced to retire from acting, and died eight years later of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California.

Film8.3SavaşDramFilmin konusu Fransız ordusundaki komuta kademesinin savaşmak istemeyen askerlere gözdağı verip korkutmak amacıyla suçsuz askerleri kurşuna dizmesidir. Fransız Ordusu da savaş sırasında diğer müttefik orduları gibi korkaklık suçundan dolayı infazlar gerçekleştirmiştir. Ancak filmin merkezinde duran sorun, verilen emre karşı gelerek saldırıya geçmeyen tüm cephenin yerine rastgele seçilen askerlerin kurşuna dizilmesidir. Bu tür cezalandırma tarihte Romalılar tarafından yaygın olarak uygulanmıştır. Onuncunun cezalandırılması olarak dilimize çevrilebilecek decimation cezasında suçlular arasından her on kişiden bir tanesi öldürülerek ceza uygulanır. Bu ceza Fransız Ordusunda, Flanders yakınlarında 15 Aralık 1914 tarihinde geri çekilen Cezayir Alayı 8.Tabur 10. Bölük askerleri hücum emrine uymayınca uygulanmıştır...

Hammer (Ralph Meeker) başına geleceklerden habersiz Christina'yı arabasına alır ve Los Angeles'a gitmeye başlar. Kadının büyük bir sır sakladığı her halinden bellidir. Hammer her şeye karşın gideceği yere kadar kadını bırakıp, olası bir belanın içine girmek istememektedir. Ancak kötü adamlar hem Hammer'ı hem de kadını yolun ortasında yakalar ve kadını öldürürler. Aslında Hammer'ı da arabasıyla uçuruma iterler ama Hammer mucizevi şekilde kurtulur ve olayların içine girer. Aslında her şey gizemli, kapalı bir kutunun etrafında dönmektedir...
