The Professionals (1966)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 123m
Director: Richard Brooks
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Jack Palance, Ralph Bellamy
Synopsis:
A wealthy man hires mercenaries to rescue his kidnapped wife from the clutches of a Mexican outlaw, but they discover that it is more in the manner of an elopement.
Review:
Beautifully shot by Conrad Hall, and more intelligently made than most films of its kind, this crams a great deal of philosophizing about the lot of the ageing professional into its length but is more significant for introducing a touch of fashionable cynicism and amorality into the American Western.
