Deadly Companions (1961)

Description

Brian Keith stars as Yellowleg, a scarred civil war veteran who with two companions, the grizzled turk and cocky gunslinger Billy Keplinger, ride to Gila City with the intention of heisting a bank. Before they can execute their plan, they are involved in a shoot-out and a stray bullet from Yellowlegs's gun kills the son of cabarey dancer Kit Tilden (Maureen O'Hara). Already an outcast in the city, Kit decides to leave and bury her son alongside his father in the town of Siringo, a ghost town which can only be reached through Apache territory. Yellowleg, Turk and Billy insist on accompanying Kit on her journey but not a all their intentions are honourable. Revenge, lust, greed and hatred make interesting travel companions.
