The Professionals
N.p. N.p., Circa 1966. Vintage reference photograph from the set of the 1966 Western film, showing French composer Maurice Jarre conducting an orchestra for the recording of the film's soundtrack. Dutch stamps on the verso, along with annotations in manuscript ink.
Based on Frank O'Rourke's 1964 novel "A Mule for the Marquesa," about four men hired by a wealthy Texan to rescue his wife from a Mexican revolutionary, only to discover the job is not exactly what it seems. A sometimes overlooked and underrated entry into the Western canon, despite being nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Shot on location in Mexico, and throughout Arizona, Nevada, and California.
