Deadly Companions, The

USA 1961, 90 minutes
Dir. Sam Peckinpah
Rating: [M]
Genres: Classics / Western

Feat. Brian Keith, Maureen O'Hara, Steve Cochran

Aroview: Sam Peckinpah's debut film is a typically unorthodox western, that while uneven reveals the quirky characters and emotive nostalgia of his later masterpieces. Prostitute Maureen O'Hara carts the body of her son across Apache territory, helped by his (unintentional) killer and two seedy associates, who all have scores of their own to settle.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Not for the first time in a screenplay is Maureen fighting off men (I don't know why). The screenplay is at its best until the inevitable happens. ~Tubbs
