(Learn More) Deadly Companions (released in France as "New Mexico"), the 1961 Sam Peckinpah cowboy western ("Trapped...

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...

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". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The pressbook was lightly partially folded across the middle (we would prefer not to fold it completely, but we will do so if the new buyer requests). Learn More about condition grades
