Kattiera Nana 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.

Twins65 I'd never heard of this movie until I read web-site article about Dwight Yoakam, which included an interview. Dwight gave this movie a big shout out, saying it was highly unconventional, yet quite likable. And since I've pretty much liked Paul Newman and Lee Marvin in almost everything they've been in, I took a chance. Let's just say that I'm still on board with Dwight the musician, but I've got a big thumbs down to Dwight the movie critic.I'm going to be brief, as I don't want to rain on Terence Malick's script and Stuart Rosenberg's direction too hard. But this movie just never got going AT ALL. It just seemed like the boys from "Cool Hand Luke" (Newman, Strother Martin & Wayne Rogers, along with Rosenberg) decided to put the band back together again, but forgot to include a REAL STORY.Instead, we get Newman as a broke cattleman, bumbling around South of the Border negotiating cattle prices with stubborn Mexican ranchers. Where's the humor and/or intrigue with that plot line? When the only (semi) interesting part of the film is Elizondo & Sierra, two US citizens of Puerto Rican descent, playing smarmy Mexicans, you've got real problems in a movie with 2 stars as big as Newman and Marvin. Stay away from this one unless you're a Newman "completest"!

guyperea-1 Paul Newman and Lee Marvin of the daily work in the pocket of the Rider to make a existence on the new day's in Horse Riding. The making of the film shortly after the high lights of the Vietnam War gave a lightness to the audience in Newman and Marvin sense of display of Comedy. A old play to the scene came out with Dr Starr - the 1930's Singing Cowboy, Rider and Roper also used in name Dusty Starr, who could wrestle ~ resell ~ a cow in seconds as well as with a fist in fights he added to the fight for a pocket full of money to exist on. Lee Marvin comic approach to has own acting on how to talk to Paul Newman with hands and arms and his shoulder in how to attend to daily existence in gaining their own money for their pocket.

bkoganbing If anyone has read my review of Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr's The Sundowners I said that the film has really no plot, but relies successfully on the charm of the characters to carry it along. Pocket Money falls in the same category. It just follows the driftings of its two leads to carry the film along. It works to a degree, but unlike the other film, the supporting characters aren't as interesting.Still Paul Newman who seems to personify a definition of insanity in that he keeps doing the same thing and expecting different results and his hustling pal Lee Marvin amble along in this film with such a degree of charm you can't help but like them. But you watch Pocket Money and you know these two guys will never hit the big time. Still they seem to try. My favorite part of the film is Marvin convincing Paul Newman to ride a bucking horse to gain some respect from prospective Mexican customers. It almost, but not quite descends into the kind of con games that Crosby used to employ on Hope.It would have been nice for a couple of mega stars like Newman and Marvin to have gotten a better film to do though.

michael swindle (dallasvaughnmichaels) If any comments represent a spoiler to the plot of Pocket Money, this is a warning to stop reading. Pocket Money is one great film. If you have been to Mexico and understand the people , Pocket Money shows the underbelly of Mexican business dealings and sociological aspects of almost "old west" life. Newmans character is almost HUDDISH. I watch the film over and over. One of my favorite scenes is when Newman and " Leaonard" confront Strother Martin and Stretch Russell in the hotel room and Newman throws the TV out the window. Another memorable scene is when, around the campfire, Marvin toys with some old 38 pistol. Throughout the film with Newman's constant " Now Leonard" line makes them seem so tied together as brothers from different mothers. It reminds me of the relationship between a friend and I in Vietnam in 68; nagging, griping and yet constantly trusting and working together.
