Dolworth Finishes Chiquita | The Professionals | Silver Scenes

Raza is injured and Dolworth maneuvers to stay safe when Chiquita, Raza's right-hand woman, charges in on horseback. Dolworth manages to take her down but is nearly killed by a dying Chiquita, whose gun is empty.

Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin headline the top-notch, rip-roaring Western action/adventure, THE PROFESSIONALS. 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 (Woody Strode), the explosives master(Lancaster), horse handler (Robert Ryan) and one skilled in tactics and weaponry (Marvin) - make their way across the treacherous landscape to retrieve the beautiful kidnappee, 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 THE PROFESSIONALS a true classic. THE PROFESSIONALS garnered three Academy Award® nominations; two for Richard Brooks (Best Direction and Best Adapted Screenplay) and another for the esteemed Conrad Hall (Best Cinematography). The filmmakers received the same nominations the following year for the true crime classic, In Cold Blood.

the speech from JACK PALANCE, 1:50 - 3.00 is amazing

[airira]

One of the greatest Westerns ever made. Brilliant acting, writing and directing.

[Reece-hl]

Six minutes as good as any in the greatest Westerns.

[mtaur]

This is actually the scene I liked best in this movie. Thanks for posting.

[nicholaslawmusic]

Chiquita's death scene is pure cinematic gold. "Long time since I hear baby."

[Freddie-xs]

One of the best westerns made brilliant film and cast

[johntheball]

Never saw a man i envied and admired more than Lancaster...

[josesanchez-oszr]

Great, great, great scene. The really good ones. It is a great film and Richard Brooks was a great director, but above all, a great screenwriter.

[JohnDavies-cnro]

Brilliant speech - totally convincing, written and spoken by those who must have lived it. Reminds me of a comment W E Johns put in 'Bigles in Spain' - "he had devoted his life to the cause of freedom, and found her to be a very fickle

[saschabewermeier]

Oh man... i miss that kind of real acting in films nowadays.

[davidmarsh]

Maria Gomez great actress great body all woman 😊

[jungle]

This was a great movie. Action, stars and great storyline. PLEASE DON'T DO A REMAKE no doubt it will stink like every remake we've endured over the past 25 years.

[stephenannese]

Great flick, ....haven't seen it in

[Biendotado]

Lancaster, Marvin, Strode, Palance, Ryan, Bellamy, all WWll veterans.

[jeremyszczepanski]

Good God, Jack Palance was one hell of an actor. They certainly don't make films like this anymore. So sad...

[LondonMIliya]

I watched the full movie in 1982 and knew all the lines by heart

[sphughes]

Great film. Made in the context of the Vietnam War and the criticism of America's involvement in a conflict that was none of their business. The film reeks of this throughout and can be seen as a comment on the folly of such an enterprise.

[johnpendarvis]

They don't write 'em like that anymore.

[MT-orlv]

Great movie. It could only be better by having more Marie Gomez.
