What he said!
Movies will never be the same without those great actors.

Additional note:
A Mule for the Marquesa (1964) is a novel by Frank O'Rourke. The film The Professionals (1966) was based on that book. After the release of the movie, new editions of the novel were issued under the title The Professionals.

Great movie,great actors. Thanks for putting it up here. Love that theme.
For any die hard western fans out there:
John Benteen wrote a series of books about a character named Neil Fargo. Fargo was based on Lee Marvin's character in The Professionals.
Excellent western adventure series.
Set in the early 1900's. Fargo has the Rough Riders hat and the pure white hair, and an unusual array of weaponry.
Recommeded western reading.
Cheers: Jaq.

One of the best westerns! MJ made fabulous music in the 60s! Great cast, perfect western with Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Burt Lancaster, etc...and of course gorgeous Claudia Cardinale :)

Jarre brought the goods, all right....did the same kind of excellent job for another Lancaster movie, "The Train."
Agreed, though it is not necessary to restrict its impact to 'westerns'. Its hard to think of which current actors could carry off the performances of this stellar cast. Is there an actor today that has the grittiness of Lee Marvin? Or the physical presence of Burt Lancaster? Today producers are more interested in stars who can generate box office revenues and thus offer us a parade of shallow, pretty boy types who smile and prance for the cameras. Where's William Holden when you need him?

Most of these great actors had passed away, but still their names and their great films are shining for ever.
