I really don't think these fit the movie well, as her style of singing and voice seem odd in a film set in Arizona and Mexico among cattle. By the way, a couple songs (including the title song) are sung by Carole King. Certainly not among the actors' best but a decent time-passer-plus you get to see Lee Marvin riding a horse while wearing a suit-and you can't see that every day. But, with some actors (especially Paul Newman), I can live with this.

Sure, it might have had more to the script than that, but it sure didn't look like it did. 'Pocket Money' is a very slow film that appears as if it was made up as the movie was being filmed. However, LOTS of complications arise and a seemingly simple job turns sour. Once he arrives in Mexico, he meets up with his old friend Leonard (Marvin) and the two try to purchase cattle. However, a guy with a shady reputation (Strother Martin) wants to employ him to go down into Mexico in order to buy some cattle. Rancher Jim Kane (Newman) is having some seriously bad luck and is broke.

This is absolutely the case, though at least having some excellent actors (Paul Newman and Lee Marvin) makes it watchable. When I read through the previous reviews for this film on IMDb, I noticed that quite a few folks thought this film was scant when it comes to script.
