The Professionals ? … Marketing Anomalies …
The Professionals didn’t seem to indulge in a lot of marketing promotion. Possibly (credibly) relying on it’s AllStar cast to carry it.
But some of marketing images are still a bit of a head scratcher.
Like this:
The Professionals DVD Cover / Poster This DVD cover/poster headlines “Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Jack Palance and Ralph Bellamy“. But … ? the image shows Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Marvin, Ryan and Woody Strode.
Palance and Bellamy are Billed, but not pictured. Cardinale and Strode are pictured, but not Billed.
???This can only be attributed to contractual agreements regarding who would get Billed ahead of who … whom? I guess.
Even stranger: As shown below, Cardinale did not even appear in the original photo, but she was cleverly inserted later – between Lancaster and Marvin.
YET … she is not even identified on the Bill !! ??Why bother?
The Professionals – The original image Here’s another:
The Professionals Again, we have actors Billed (Lancaster, Palance, Bellamy) – but not pictured.
And actors pictured (Cardinale, Strode), but not Billed.I know it’s hot out there in the desert, but …
How hot is it? Check this:
The Professionals Whew … it’s sweaty out here in the desert.
Who are those slobs in the background?

That was a good one wasn’t it ! Frequently plays on TV – I’ve watched it several times. Nice cast in there.
