The Deadly Companions
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Peckinpah's first film, a not altogether characteristic but nevertheless quirky Western which sees Keith's ex-army sergeant making amends for killing a boy by ferrying his corpse and his mother on a funeral procession through Apache territory. Routine in places, but enlivened by the sardonic characterisation (reminiscent in some ways of Faulkner's superficially similar As I Lay Dying) and by odd moments of visual bravura.Author: GA
