When I was a kid, I suffered from a lot of major ear infections. I remember many a day being home from school sick, laying on the couch in the basement under piles of blankets watching a steady diet of war, western and Hitchcock movies on TV.
Since I was sick this day, I figured a good western would fit right in. Happily I’d just received The Professionals on DVD from Netflix.
When you throw Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, Jack Palance and Claudia Cardinale together in a cynical mid-sixties western, I’m happy to say the result is pretty damn good.
Palance doesn’t get a lot of screen time, which is actually ok. The show really belongs to Lancaster and Marvin here, who are a great one-two combo. Cardinale’s charming assets weren’t too shabby either.
