the chinese bungalow is a 1925 play by marion osmond and james corbet , based on osmond ' s 1923 novel ; it is a three - act melodrama set in the far east . [ 1 ] it was adapted for film in 1926 , in 1930 , and again in 1940 .
born in 1904 , ballard berkeley ' s film career began as far back as 1930 in a film called the chinese bungalow — nearly half a century before he could be found wandering around fawlty towers . his film and tv career spanned the decades and the genres — comedy , horror , suspenseful thrillers and more — often playing the type of role he was so brilliant at .

i ' d like to be notified of new arrivals in the following categories .
copyright ( c ) 1996 by the library , university of california , berkeley .
major gowen , played by ballard berkeley , in fawlty towers was a bumbling , quintessential stiff upper lipped english gentleman . and proud of it ! well known for his distrust of foreigners in general , and germans in particular , he could always be found wandering about fawlty towers enquiring if the newspapers had arrived yet . the only thing more important to major gowen than the arrival of the newspapers to keep himself abreast of the cricket scores was the opening of the bar . this was an era with less liberal licensing hours than can be enjoyed in england today .
. however it is possible that brodzsky actually contributed very little . in a memoir in the william walton archive , roy douglas claimed ,
brodsky was a so - called composer : i had actually composed entire film scores for him , which went under his name
. in a letter to roy douglas dated 23 december 1943 , william walton wrote ,
i ' m delighted about your picture . i ' ll have a good deal to tell you about brodsky when i see you . in my capacity as music adviser to two cities [ a film company ] it is going to be my duty to have to tick him off !
ballard berkeley was just as big a cricket fan off screen as the major in fawlty towers was on screen . ballard would often signal to john cleese on set to keep him informed on the progress of his beloved england in the test match .

the celebration also includes sam peckinpah ' s feature directorial debut , 1961 ' s
the deadly companions ,
with o ' hara and brian keith .
the deadly companions is directed by sam peckinpah and written by albert sidney fleischman . it stars brian keith , maureen o ' hara , chill wills and steve cochran .
on another point of interest , sarah , one of the doctor’s most popular companions , also lived in croydon .
peckinpah made 16 films , including several westerns , and he was the first to acknowledge that
deadly companions
was little more than a learning experience for him . the movie sunk without a trace and remains his least - known work .
when looking at the career of sam peckinpah people usually skip to his second film , the excellent ride the high country , and skip over this first effort of his the deadly companions . turns out there’s a good reason for this : the deadly companions is not that great . it’s not bad either , it’s just a fairly mediocre sixties western . the film isn’t pushing the limits on onscreen violence and it’s not that much of an elegy for the west . you can sort of see some of peckinpah’s sensibilities sneaking in on the margins but if peckinpah had stopped making movies after this these elements would not be that interesting .
even in peckinpah ' s earliest film , the west is a world of delirious violence . the deadly companions is not as brutal as his later work , but it ' s very ugly . john ford isn ' t even out the door yet and peckinpah is already turning the western into a playground for sadists and psychopaths .
…as a film director with the deadly companions ( 1961 ) , a low - budget western that starred brian keith as a former cavalry officer who , after accidentally killing a young boy , accompanies the funeral procession through hostile apache territory . next came the elegiac ride the high country ( 1962 ) , about two former lawmen ( played…
on the face of it the deadly companions does have strong themes which seem to be lost along the way , with interesting casting that really doesn’t help the film . still this is a debut film and very much not in the same vein as most westerns of the day . no killer would be seen to wear his guilt on his sleeve as openly as yellowleg who coming from civilised society maybe bring that sensibility with him to the west .
elsewhere , when tom baker’s doctor returned to skaro in 1975 , with strict instructions from the time lords to destroy the daleks forever , betchworth quarry hosted the daleks’ home planet . the following year , baker visited betchworth again to film part of the deadly assassin .
over the next 50 years , the doctor , and a whole host of different companions , would travel all over the universe , encountering monsters and aliens that would send children , and a fair few adults , scurrying behind the sofa for safety .
because fitzsimmons forgot to put a copyright notice on the film , “the deadly companions” slipped into the public domain , and as a result peckinpah’s first film has been available to home video only in versions of varying degrees of awfulness . a new edition , released by vci entertainment and produced by the archivist cary roan , presents the best sound and image of any i have seen so far , and is the first american disc to present the film in its original wide - screen dimensions .
sam peckinpah was born on february 21 , 1925 , in fresno , california . he became a screenwriter for tv westerns like gunsmoke before making his film directorial debut with the deadly companions . later films like the wild bunch , which received a screenwriting oscar nomination , and straw dogs were noted for their grisly violence . known for his hard - living lifestyle , peckinpah died on december 28 , 1984 .
on siegel’s recommendation , peckinpah found work as a writer in the flourishing field of television westerns , and by 1960 was receiving producing and directing credits as well on “the westerner , ” a well - reviewed but short - lived series starring brian keith . when keith was cast in the low - budget theatrical western “the deadly companions , ” he suggested peckinpah as a director to the producer charles b . fitzsimmons , whose older sister , maureen o’hara , was the project’s nominal star .
the deadly companions is noted for two more sequences . one is pure western art for its own sake . instead of having the lone yellowleg ( established as a western hero who cannot shoot his gun ! ) hold off indian attacks , peckinpah shows a group of drunken indians playfully re - enacting a stagecoach robbery that perhaps happened the day before . indians on horseback chase their friends , who are dressed up in the clothing left by the presumed victims . the unique sequence is rather eerie .
the movie was always considered an interesting failure with interesting scenes and characters . although peckinpah didn ' t write the script and was forbidden to change the dialogue ( a shame , as his colorful western speeches are unmatched ) , the deadly companions has themes lot in common with his later work : a tortured , crippled hero , a wild and wooly villain and a contemptuous attitude toward frontier hypocrisy . the big news with this release ( savant rarely reviews region 2 releases ) is that futurefilm ' s finnish release ( said to be similar to the uk optimum release ) is a beautiful widescreen transfer . since its abbreviated initial release , the deadly companions has only been available in miserable ( the word is too kind ) pan - scanned tv prints and video releases . seen in its proper panavision screen shape , it finally looks like a real movie . savant is indebted to finnish reader olli larimo for the opportunity to view this new release .
another sam peckinpah film in as many days , and one i was unaware that even existed , being a much earlier film in his back – catalogue of work . probably made with more studio control , yet the deadly companions ( 1961 ) does have some of the hallmarks of his later work . i do feel it’s slightly more successful than his next film major dundee ( 1962 ) , but that’s for another review .
the deadly companions futurefilm ( finnish import , region 2 pal ) 1961 / color / 2 : 35 anamorphic widescreen / 90 min . / street date july 18 , 2007 starring maureen o ' hara , brian keith , steve cochran , chill wills , strother martin , will wright cinematography william h . clothier film editor stanley e . rabjohn original music martin skiles written by a . s . fleischman from his novel produced by charles b . fitzsimons directed by sam peckinpah
reportedly peckinpah was not allowed to modify the script ( by a . s . fleischman ) or participate in the final editing . but “the deadly companions” seems like pure peckinpah from its opening scene , in which a group of children are seen torturing , not a scorpion as in “the wild bunch , ” but one of their own ; the outcast is the fatherless son of a dance hall girl , kit tildon ( ms . o’hara ) . when a spasm of violence breaks out , the boy is accidentally shot and killed by a stranger in town , a former union officer who goes by the generic name of yellowleg ( keith ) .
the deadly companions looks great on futurefilm ' s dvd ; the main logo on the transfer is lakeshore entertainment . colors are rich and i assume that the picture is a bit sharper on a real pal screen ; my converting player probably adds a level of softness . the 25fps speedup is noticeable in some of the dialogue . futurefilm ' s disc comes with subtitles in suomi ( finnish , i assume ) , swedish , norwegian and danish . all are removable . i remember the stagecoach scene as being day for night and it ' s timed for day here , but the pan - scanned prints i saw are unreliable . the film has other day for night sequences , which look on a par with the ones in major dundee
“the wild bunch” touched a nerve with audiences that “major dundee” did not , perhaps because the intervening four years had brought an escalation of the war in vietnam , paradoxically introducing a greater suspicion of american military adventures and a greater fascination with violence . for a moment , peckinpah’s personal obsessions would find themselves reflected in the culture at large ; that moment has not yet arrived in “major dundee , ” though the groundwork is there . ( “the deadly companions” : vci entertainment ; dvd , $ 14 . 99 ; not rated . “major dundee” : twilight time ; urltoken ; blu - ray , $ 34 . 95 ; pg - 13 )
while both o ' hara and keith turn in good performances , there ' s just a little something missing here that prevents me from rating the deadly companioms more highly . i think i needed more of a connection to the leads and the movie just didn ' t have enough
character
moments to get me that .

an element of the plot reportedly considered unsuitable for audiences at the time was the use of a coffin with a dead child in many of the scenes . the story is told that to get financial backing , the screenplay was first novelized by the writer , a . s . fleischman , and published successfully as a western under the title yellowleg .

this movie may or may not convey much truth about life in the old west . but it speaks volumes about america in the middle of the 20th century .
• navajos were employed by the hundreds to work on the production or don war paint as ruthless comanche .
the movie is not that original and does not carry the visual intensity that would later characterize the director ' s work . it also feels choppy and half asleep at times . that ' s hardly peckinpah ' s fault because each of his films , with the exception of bring me the head of alfredo garcia , were tampered with by the studios . but the themes are there , along with the edgy performances to embolden them .
unlike so many other hollywood westerns , the blinding fear of indian attacks is made visceral . ford doesn ' t show the savagery that threatened settlers , leaving the worst to our imagination .

also unexpected is the title song , sung under the opening credits . instead of the usual deep male voice , tex ritter or frankie lane , we hear a woman singing the lyrics . and we learn from the credits that it is o’hara herself . classical guitarist laurindo almeida also gets a credit .
the scenes in gila city are rather flat and sometimes even awkwardly blocked , with the only memorable image that of the cheating turk half - hung in the saloon , his cards pinned to his shirt . the movie picks up out in the open desert , where william clothier ' s beautiful cinematography takes over . the character action is predictble until kit and yellowleg find themselves alone in the wild , eventually dragging the son ' s coffin by hand . kit is determined to prove to someone that her dead husband , meade tilden , really existed .
in planet of the daleks in 1973 , beachfields quarry , just south of mercer’s country park near merstham , becomes skaro , the daleks’ home planet . during the previous adventure , frontier in space , jon pertwee’s doctor went to the quarry to film a visit to the home planet of an ape - like race called the ogrons . daleks used ogrons as security guards back then . four years later , beachfields was the setting for a sontaran invasion of the doctor’s home planet , gallifrey .
the civil war yankee sergeant yellowleg saves the cheater turkey from hanging after a card game , and together with turk ' s gunslinger buddy billy keplinger , they ride together to gila city with the intention of heisting a bank . when other bandits rob a store , yellowleg shoots at the outlaws and accidentally kills the son of the cabaret dancer kit tilden and the grieving woman decides to bury her son in the town of siringo in apache country where her husband is buried . yellowleg enlists billy and turkey to escort kitty and the coffin through the dangerous land . written by claudio carvalho , rio de janeiro , brazil

james stewart plays tom jeffords , the real - life ex - soldier who ventured solo into cochise ' s stronghold east of tucson to talk peace with the leader of the chiricahua apaches .
but the romantic myth of the visionary rebel destroyed by the system is a powerful one , and peckinpah’s has steadily grown in the decades since his death . amazon lists over a dozen biographies and critical studies of peckinpah currently in print , and the internet overflows with fan sites and tributes . the cult of personality inspired by “bloody sam” now threatens to overwhelm the films themselves — a shame , since there is much to be rediscovered in peckinpah’s work , and particularly in those movies that don’t necessarily conform to the sanguinary image : films like “ride the high country” ( 1962 ) , “the ballad of cable hogue” ( 1970 ) , “junior bonner” ( 1972 ) and the 1966 television drama “noon wine . ”

the red - headed stepchild of peckinpah movies ; compared to rthc or major dundee , you ' d hardly even know it existed . . . and yet everything in the first two scenes of this is the embryonic form of something from the beginning of pat garrett and billy the kid . . . just minus all the nastiness , because hays code . from the

• this was the film in which wayne finally retired the hat he had worn since
stagecoach ,
made 20 years earlier .
here ' s one way to tell a traditional western from the revisionist type exemplified so perfectly by
the outlaw josey wales .
the buxom jane russell , who died feb . 28 at age 89 , made her movie debut in
the outlaw .
the posters featuring her sprawled suggestively on a haystack resulted in pinup stardom .
in 1866 , courageous new fighting units were formed within the u . s . cavalry : the black 9th and 10th regiments , a fighting force that was called
buffalo soldiers
by the indians .
this is the first in john ford ' s trilogy depicting the eternally heroic u . s . cavalry under siege from the savage
red hordes
that surrounded them . it was followed by

in 1949 and
rio grande
in 1950 , which also used the dramatic landscape near the utah border .
turner classic movies will celebrate the legacy of the legendary actress maureen o ' hara with a 24 - hour film tribute on november 20 .
there ' s some merit to the charge that the indian hasn ' t been portrayed accurately or fairly in the western , but again , this charge has been a broad generalization and often unfair . the indian didn ' t welcome the white man . . . and he wasn ' t diplomatic . . . if he has been treated unfairly by whites in films , that , unfortunately , was often the case in real life . there was much racial prejudice in the west .
the impact of
yellowleg ' s
injured shoulder varies throughout the film , for example he has difficulty handling a gun or raising his arm in the doctor ' s office yet seems to have no problems using the same arm to mount his horse or to clamber up rocks .
the police station , filmed at the old ashdown road post office sorting station , is deserted , too , although the doctor and sarah do see a van speeding along palmer crescent . later , troops shoot at looters ( by the old kingston meat market on kent road ) and the doctor tracks a mysterious signal ( around south lane and parkfields lane ) .
brian keith was quite a good actor , though i always think of him as the father on that family show . i forget the title .
sam peckinpah was a controversial , academy award - nominated screenwriter and director known for films like the wild bunch , straw dogs and the getaway .
this was the sixth film made in monument valley by director john ford , and his love affair with the landscape is more apparent than ever .
•
that ' ll be the day ,
a song written by buddy holly and jerry allison , was inspired by their viewing of this film in june 1956 .
that ' ll be the day
was the world - weary catchphrase employed by john wayne throughout the film .
the arizona daily star devoted many pages of coverage to the weeklong premiere celebration , which included a downtown parade led by the governors of arizona and sonora and a midnight menudo party that lasted until 4 a . m .
another early movie with arizona in the title :
in old arizona ,
filmed at locations all around the state , was oscar - nominated for best picture in 1928 , the second year that oscars were presented .
the bbc find themselves in need of some wild moor - like terrain but can’t afford to take the outside broadcast unit up to scotland ; much easier just to travel a few miles down the road to frensham common .
sam peckinpah ’s life , like many of his movies , ended in a kind of apocalyptic debacle . too many arguments with producers , too much alcohol - fueled misbehavior and ( always the real problem ) too many disappointments at the box office had rendered the director of “the wild bunch” ( 1969 ) effectively unemployable by the time he died in 1984 , at 59 .
the gay subtext has been explored at length and no doubt exaggerated over the years . but at a time when subtext was the only way for gay people to see themselves in hollywood films , the interpretation is understandable . how else should we take the priceless game of

when

martin scorsese , praising

in a tribute to ford many years ago , swore that vistavistion was the best projection system ever invented .
filmed at old tucson ' s mescal location , the production was by all accounts a fairly out of control nightmare for the cast and crew . it was reported that more than 100 people were fired before the movie wrapped .

• the silurians , 1970 : pertwee confronts prehistoric humanoid reptiles at hankley common , the hog’s back transmitter station , guildford and sheephatch farm in tilford .
peckinpah seems to identify with this dundee more , and the film suddenly falls off the wagon along with its central character , getting lost in a haze of boozy revelry and extravagant violence . his dramatic focus lost , peckinpah resolves the plot with a pair of bloody confrontations , one with the indians and one with the french , neither of which feels much like a meaningful victory .
only later do we learn that he literally bears the wounds of his wartime service . at his hairline show the scars of being scalped by the confederate soldier he’s sworn to avenge . the disfigurement is also a mark of his shame , as he regards himself unworthy of o’hara’s affection once he’s won it .
thousands of cattle were leased from arizona and mexican ranchers , and the san pedro would pose as the red river . the 1868 boomtown of abilene , kansas , was re - created with false fronts on elgin ' s buildings .
i just caught this movie by accident on turner classic movies . i turned on the home theater and it was tuned to tcm from the night before .
heston’s dundee pursues a renegade apache leader , who has kidnapped three white children , across the border into mexico , where he threatens to touch off an international incident by confronting the french colonial troops then occupying the country . so far , so good , but then the film takes a bizarre turn , when the children are suddenly returned and dundee , the point of his mission lost , runs off in an alcoholic fugue , abandoning his troops and self - respect .

peckinpah would essentially reshape this material into “the wild bunch” four years later , wisely dividing dundee’s divided character into two separate figures — robert ryan as an obsessive bounty hunter and william holden as the romantically anachronistic outlaw ( the year is 1913 ) whom ryan pursues into a wholly anarchic mexico . “the wild bunch” is both structurally more coherent and stylistically more extreme : the rivers of blood in “dundee” have now become fountains , erupting from bodies as they twist to the earth in balletic slow motion .

however , i know he was in an action series during the ' 80s and would really enjoying seeing him in this . thanks for the post !
where the film starts to fall down in the love interest that develops it doesn’t feel natural for peckinpah to have that in his films . of course having the only woman and lead actor pair - up is natural for films of that era , there are worse on - screen pairings . it’s the outsider element which draws them together , however it does detract from what the characters have , that dynamic of a mother’s child killer escorting her to his final resting place , whilst also having his own demons . also the added element of the apaches is very unique and not really explored in great detail . they are seen as unhinged , affected by the western society as they play around with a stagecoach they have previously stolen .

the other noted moment is the confused ending , ( spoiler ) yellowleg elects to shoot it out with his ex - partners , who have returned from robbing the bank for real . peckinpah wanted the gunfight to be yellowleg ' s victory over his handicap , which turns out to have been more a mental problem than a physical one . o ' hara and fitzsimons apparently insisted on ' protecting ' brian keith ' s star player status by having turk shoot billy in the back , for the vaguest of revenge reasons . poorly staged and awkwardly cut , the death of billy is an almost complete letdown . yellowleg ' s role in the story is thus limited to finding a bond of common trust with kit tilden . the townsmen offer to let her return to gila city , but kit and yellowleg choose to ride off alone .
