Compañeros (English Version) - DVD

Yellow leg (Brian Keith) escorts Kit Tilden (Maureen O'Hara) through hostile Apache territory to bury her son, who he accidentally shot while trying to stop a robbery. A couple of shady characters, Turk (Chill Wills) and Billy Keplinger (Steve Cochran), are recruited to ride along - for reasons only Yellow leg knows. Director Sam Peckinpah's first feature, the Deadly Companions (1961) was shot in 21 days at Old Tucson Studios. Brian Keith had appeared in Peckinpah's TV series the Westerner, and had recently costarred with Maureen O'Hara in the Parent Trap. Peckinpah was not allowed to rewrite the script or supervise the editing (It was produced by O'Hara's brother), but his direction is assured, his strong visual stamp is already evident, and his typical themes front and center.

The Deadly Companions is a classic 1961 American Western starring Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, Steve Cochran and Chill Wills. The movie is based on a novel of the same name and is the directorial debut of Sam Peckinpah. When her young son is killed in a bank robbery, a widowed dance hall hostess, Kit Tilden (Maureen O'Hara) is determined to bury her son by his father in Siringo which is now deserted and located in Apache territory. The ex-army sergeant who accidentally killed her son, Yellowleg (Brian Keith), decides to help Kit by taking her son's body across the desert to be buried, whether Kit wants his help or not. Yellowleg (Brian Keith) forces the other two bank robbers - Turk (Chill Wills), a confederate deserter, and Billy (Steve Cochran), a gunslinger, to accompany them. Billy (Steve Cochran) attacks Kit and Yellowleg throws him out of their camp. Turk (Chill Wills) then deserts Kit and Yellowleg. Yellowleg and Kit become quite close during the journey to Siringo. They discover that Kit and Turk have followed them and this leads to a gunfight among the three men. Who will survive and who will die? This is a classic Western you won't soon forget.
