MOVIES - Watched The Professionals last night.
What a terrific western. Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin with Jack Palance playing "Jesus Raza" I just love that movie.

Synchronicity -- I watched it last night also. Did you notice that Lee Marvin had more than one campaign hat? Look at the Montana peaks. One is pointed; one is rounded.
The DVD I saw also included special features on Burt Lancaster, the making of the movie, and participants' memories of the making of it.
The novel on which the movie is based is significantly different -- not inferior, just different. The snappy dialogue, though, is pure Richard Brooks.
Last thing this post: the correct quotation is as follows. "Maybe there’s only one revolution … since the beginning —- the good guys against the bad guys. Question is: Who are the good guys?"

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson

Close...it's a Colt Army Special. You get a real good look at it in the scene where Lancaster is hanging upside down in the pass. Want to talk about synchronicity? I watched it last night too!2ndovc wrote:One of my Favorites. Always liked lee Marvin's pistol rig, 1911 & 1917! Can't beat that!
