Curiosità
The Professionals is a 1960 British crime thriller film, directed by Don Sharp and starring William Lucas, Andrew Faulds and Colette Wilde. It was written by Peter Barnes.
Production
In September 1959 it was announced that the director would be Sidney Hayers. The job of directing eventually went to Don Sharp, who had been going to make another film written by Barnes, Echo of Barbara, that does not seem to have been made. (There is a film called Echo Of Barbara from 1961, directed by Sidney Hayers and starring Mervyn Johns and Maureen Connell, which may be the film in question.)
It was the first fictional film Sharp made for Independent Artists, although he had made the documentary Keeping the Peace (1959) for the same producers. Independent Artists were based at Beaconsfield Film Studios but the studio was so busy at the time that The Professionals had to be filmed at Pinewood Studios.
