A look at the world of slick professional pickpockets, and how they prey upon innocent victims. A novice (Michael Sarrazin) and his girlfriend (Trish Van Devere) join a seasoned pair of pros: James Coburn and his older, cocaine-sniffing colleague, Walter Pidgeon. The group keeps on the move, traveling to Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, the beautiful Van Devere, whose looks are used as a ploy to take the money from unwary lookers, also looks good to Coburn, which leads to a feud with Sarrazin. Things will come to a head at a horse show in Salt Lake City, which has very tight security measures against pickpockets. Technical adviser for the film was slight-of-hand artist Tony Giorgio. watch
When the code word "gumball" is passed by a rich young man, two housewives, two staid British gentlemen, one Italian lothario, one bug-eyed motorcyclist, a couple of Texans, an exotic model and other assorted types, they converge to participate in a hilarious non-stop car race from New York to California. The first of the cross-country road race comedies -- it's the original "Cannonball Run." Golden Globe-nominee Raul Julia ("Kiss of the Spider Woman," "The Addams Family"), Academy Award-nominee Gary Busey ("The Firm," "Under Siege") and Michael Sarrazin ("They Shoot Horses, Don't They") star. watch
