THE DEADLY COMPANIONS (1961) - Sam Peckinpahs first Western and starring Mareen O'Hara and Brian Kieth in the lead roles. The story is different in this film. Some of the film is good and some parts don't work. The music selected dosn't work at all. Filmed in Tucsons Arizona's famous Western studio. Kieths character has an old gunfighting injury in the collar bone. When going for his gun he missfires like when accidently killed the young son of O'Hara or drops his weapon in the process of shooting, but strangely he sure can do other heavy things like fist fighting and lifting heavy things with with that arm.
