Review of Pocket Money (1972) by Hugh P — 24 Mar 2018
Pocket Money is a remarkable, wonderful film. I cable-TV ran across it several years ago and watched it two or three times - and loved it -- before it seemed to vanish into the mists of time. Recently doing a web search trying to find a copy, I ran across the RT mention. Much to my surprise RT listed the script as being written by Terrence Malick, who has made several of my most favorite pictures.
The dialogue - the chemistry - between Newman and Marvin is deliciously clever, and the overall TexMex texture of the movie is thick and rich, and rings entirely authentic. This is not a movie for clods; rather, one for appreciators of nuanced, genuine art.
