THE PROFESSIONALS (1966)

GREAT ACTION: TUESDAY 21ST MAY AT 1PM

Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin headline the top-notch, rip-roaring Western action/adventure.

Four soldiers of fortune are hired by a wealthy Texan oil baron (Ralph Bellamy) to rescue his kidnapped wife (Claudia Cardinale), who’s been spirited across the Mexican Border by a band of mercenaries led by Jesus Raza (Jack Palance).

The four rugged professionals, each regarded as a specialist in his selected field – an expert marksman and tracker, the explosives master(Lancaster), horse handler (Robert Ryan) and one skilled in tactics and weaponry (Marvin) – make their way across the treacherous landscape but discover all is not what it seems in the explosive climax.

Excellent performances from an all-star cast, Maurice Jarre’s haunting musical score and surprising plot twists make this film a true classic which garnered three Academy Award nominations.

We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.

National Geographic, UK and Europe

Our channel has been growing quickly so we went looking for a listings company that we can rely on to support us with accurate, well-translated schedules.
