Thread Name: OBIT James Coburn (2002)
Subject: RE: OBIT James Coburn
A sad "Adieu."

My favorites were "Harry in your pocket," and "Waterhole Number Three."

"Harry" teamed Coburn with Walter Pidgeon as aging pickpockets trying to teach the trade to youngsters Michael Sarazen and Trish VanDevere (the future Mrs. George C. Scott).

In "Waterhole #3," he worked with Carroll O'Connor in a comedic takeoff on law enforcement (and larceny) in the old west.

A great actor, leaving us (thankfully) a large body of work to remember him by.
