This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Bruce Geller made a huge impact with Mission Impossible but this film lacks that show's drive and innovation. Painstakingly plotted and performed it nevertheless drags in places and it's no surprise it was his only feature film.Pigeon looks out of his depth throughout and fails to spark any rapport; Coburn brings his usual cool reserve and magnetism, Sarazzin improves as the film goes on. The revelation is Trish Van Devere who plays the love interest and conscience of the film with real style. As well as looking like a cross between Debbie Reynolds and one of Charlie's Angels (both these things being magic) Devere brings an engaging lightness of touch that overshadows Coburn's own, and keeps the viewer just about caring how things turn out.

Harry in your pocket is not a lost masterpiece but more of a lost movie of the decade that was famous for it's crime genre cinema. It's one of the better Coburn films of the 70's and pretty decent all around. All four principal characters take the equal burden of the story, which never becomes boring, predictable or tedious. There are some great scenes that show us the tricks of the trade, but every bit of it remains interesting to the end. Walter Pigeon and James Coburn lead the way in a story of life on a day to day basis, never looking beyond tomorrow, and doing a job that might just take you down in flames, so enjoy it while you can. And they do, best clothes, best hotels, best food and coke, but never in one place for more than a week. Michael Sarrazin and lovely Trish Van Devere are great as well as a no future lovers who immerse themselves in Harry's combustible world of fast money and quick pleasures. The job is risky and takes it's toll, that's how it goes and the ending serves the story. I don't know why this movie wasn't released on DVD but it surely deserves the attention of all fans of 70's cinema. Find and enjoy.

i was an extra, in the crowd. the last scenes. were filmed, during an equestrian horse show, in salt lake city, Utah. it was interesting, to see all the production crew and cameras. an add was in the paper, to show up, and be a member of the crowd. so i went. we were given coupons, for hamburgers and drinks. it was a long time ago, but i sure remember it. when i went to the movie, in a theater, i swear i saw myself. it was the last scenes of the movie, where they caught "harry". the people filled the stands, on one side only. it took most of the day, to film it. there were trucks and cameras, and they kept telling you, if you saw a camera, to not look, at it. it was very interesting, and i am glad i went to do this.

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
