Movie Title: Deadly Companions Deadly Companions is available for streaming or downloading. |
This 1961 Western has a lot going for it: It stars Brian Keith and the beautiful Maureen O’Hara, who had such great chemistry in “The Parent Trap,” released the very same year. It’s Sam Peckinpah’s directorial debut in motion pictures; most people reading this know that Peckinpah went on to become a highly acclaimed director with such notable efforts as 1969’s “The Wild Bunch.” In addition, “The Deadly Companions” was filmed on location in Arizona (including Old Tucson); you can’t beat Arizona for fine, authentic Western locations. Lastly, the picture only runs 90 minutes, so it won’t likely wear out its welcome.

THE STORY: Keith’s character vengefully searches for a scumbag who tried to scalp him alive 5 years earlier and accidently kills a beautiful saloon girl’s son. Feeling guilty, he offers to escort her to the ghost town where the boy’s father was buried so she can bury the son as well. There’s two problems: They have to go through injun territory and two lowlifes accompany them most of the way.
BOTTOM LINE: On paper this sounds like it would be a worthwhile Western, unfortunately it never rises above mediocre, and dangerously verges on being deadly dull. Plus the viewer can hardly see what’s going on during the numerous (brief) night sequences. Moreover, two of the main characters are incredibly unlikable (which can be defended on the grounds that they’re the real villains of the story). Hence, I can only recommend “The Deadly Companions” to uber-fans of Keith and O’Hara or Peckinpah completists.

With all that said, there are some worthwhile aspects, like the church service in the saloon and the depiction of O’Hara as a social outcast amongst the church folk (for legitimate reasons).
NOTE: There are numerous editions of this film by different dvd companies; my dvd is from PDC Home Entertainment and the picture quality is great for such an old film; the main menu is kind of cheap, but who cares about that?
