Deadly Companions (released in France as "New Mexico"), the 1961 Sam Peckinpah cowboy western ("Trapped... By her past and the sins of the men who pursued her through a savage land!"; "An Unholy Alliance! Three hell-driven men stalk a beautiful, tempting woman alone in an untamed land!.. Savage action and explosive emotions erupt on the screen!"; "TRAPPED... Money gave men the right to her lips! DEADLY... Hate and revenge were all he lived for! DEADLY... Nothing stood between him and what he wanted! DEADLY... Half-crazed with greed and dreams of grandeur!"; "They Fought With Guns Worn Low!", "Lust and revenge... Romance and hate. A motion picture of great impact!"; "Alone... In an untamed land - with three men who forced their way into her life!"; "SEE - The deadliest gundown of them all! SEE - The vicious crunch of fist against flesh! SEE - The terror of Apache cruelty!"; "Screenplay by A.S. Fleischman from his novel") starring Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, Steve Cochran, Chill Wills, and Strother Martin. Note that this low-budget western was director Sam Peckinpah's very first feature film, made after he had directed some TV episodes. He received some attention after he directed the (now highly regarded) "Ride the High Country" in 1962, and in 1963, this movie, his first, was re-released with a new title, "Trigger Happy".

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pretty minor fold and border wear, with slight darkening on the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Either the restorer removed the poster from the stretcher too quickly, or the poster came in contact with moisture after it was backed, but either way, it is now lightly rippled around the edges of the linen.
