Bosom Bloodies
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Sergio Leone's lesser-known colleague Sergio Corbucci was an equal at every level, even stooping a little further down into edgy darkness. His explosive, exciting film Compañeros (1970) is one of my all-time favorite Westerns, featuring one of composer Ennio Morricone's finest scores. In the film, Swedish arms dealer Franco Nero reluctantly teams up with Mexican revolutionary Tomas Milian to rescue a professor (Fernando Rey) who knows the combination to a safe full of money. Jack Palance plays the marijuana-smoking, one-armed villain who keeps a trained falcon by his side. Anchor Bay's DVD release presents the film completely restored, though certain scenes were never dubbed into English, and so they are presented with subtitles. The disc also comes with interviews and talent bios.
