Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

aramis-112-804880 Frightening in two ways. A solid cast (Coburn was always watchable) plays a cadre of professional pickpockets and petty thieves who actually live quite high off the takings. Unfortunately, the movie only comes to life when they're at work. Otherwise, it becomes a romantic-triangle soap opera that tries, and fails, to twinkle. The first way the movie is frightening is the way it fails to show any life between the (all-too-brief) pickpocketing interludes.More frightening is seeing how these people actually work (I'm sure their methods haven't changed a bundle). Back then, it was an inconvenience to replace a drivers license or other stuff . . . but the pickpockets were only after the money. Even credit cards were of limited use then. They never saw the value of a Social Security card. And everyone carried a limited amount of cash because no one had debit cards! Though an early scene shows these guys are just pickpockets with hearts of gold trying to make a living in tough times, in these days of identity theft, this gang hardly seems cuddly anymore. They are the sort of thieves who these days can cost you all your money, plus your reputation. Shakespeare saw it four hundred years ago, "Good name in man and woman . . . Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him,And makes me poor indeed."Worth watching for Coburn, and also for seeing just how these thugs can rob you without your knowing it. It's hard to believe people can actually steal your life so easily, but it's done.

whpratt1 Sure missed this film over the years and was very glad I was finally able to view it on TV. James Coborn, (Harry), "Intrepid", played the role of a master at the art of pickpocketing and also had a side kick, Walter Pidgeon, (Casey) "Funny Girl" who gave a great supporting role. Michael Sarrazen, (Ray Houlihan) "Feardotcom" was starting out as an apprentice to this field of putting your hands in other peoples pockets. Trish Van Devere, (Sandy Coletto) "Messenger of Death", was also in on this racket and her lover was Ray Houlihan. Trish would wear very very short skirts and bend over to distract young and old men in order to enable her co-workers to pick their pockets dry. This four some went from city to city and had a ball doing whatever they pleased. This is truly a great classic film from 1973 with James Coborn at the top of his career and his supporting cast were outstanding. Enjoy

MarieGabrielle James Coburn and Walter Pidgeon are quite interesting in this quirky film. Dismiss the soundtrack, absorb the scenery. Michael Sarrazin and Trish Van Devere, at the time were also popular film personalities.Hate to admit it, but the scenes with Walter Pidgeon, snorting coke and teaching Sarrazin how to become a world class pick-pocket are quite funny. James Coburn always adds his persona to a film; I have loved his performances since the 1970's.This film almost seems like something Quentin Tarantino may watch now, and brainstorm for a new project. I guess I have missed my calling, but I think audiences are again ready for quirky films like this, with realism and edge.8/10.

BachlorinParadise Just re-saw this movie after some thirty-three years. I first saw it at the now long gone Circle Theater in Miami Springs, Florida. I was a big fan of James Coburn and Micheal Sarrazon, and just had to see this movie. It was enjoyable when I was fifteen years old, and it was still enjoyable now. Very good acting from everyone involved. The movie plays almost like a play and the focus is on the four main characters, with little in regards to the supporting cast.Pick-pocketing was and always will be around. The film tends to make it an art with a romantic flavor, but then again, it's Hollywood. A bit of a surprise ending, but if you're expecting car chases, punch-outs, and shootouts, you will be greatly disappointed. Just a well-acted and entertaining little flick. Harry in Your Pocket is a pocketful of entertainment.
