Bad Company: The Greatest Western You've Never Seen

By Jonah Rice

Directed by Robert Benton from a story he co-created with longtime screenwriting partner David Newman, a western called Bad Company came out in 1972 to no commercial avail. It's a picaresque tale about a young man named Drew who befriends an outlaw who goes by Jake, and the two battle the west's many hazards to avoid Civil War service. Simple plot, but with regard to short films, full-length motion pictures, or even the realm of television, Bad Company should be seen as the world's most underrated western. This book details in depth its production and release while also exploring the scores of other great westerns that audiences may not have seen.
