Review of Harry in Your Pocket (1973) by Brian B — 24 May 2009
Nearly forgotten, offbeat film about a team of pickpockets. Starring the always intense James Coburn as the titular character, with a great supporting turn by Walter Pidgeon as his aging, cocaine addicted mentor.
Light and breezy during the small capers, but the despair, loneliness and resignation soon becomes apparent between members of the crew. The style especially the ending is typical of many seventies films but this is well worth seeking out. It is never been available on home video but has been playing TCM.
