Má Companhia

In 1973 my wife and sat in a theater with three other paying guests and six theater workers and watched Bad Company. We were transfixed by the sheer power of this magnificent American drama. Last weekend, with a recently released low speed version of the move, our seventeen-year-old son watched it for the first time and simply said "They should put it back in the theaters!"

This is one of the most overlooked, underrated, forgotten and ignored great films of the last twenty-five years. Acting, story, editing, photography, score - all are right on the money. My eternal thanks to Jaffe and Benton for having the courage of their convictions.
