Fluff. Flawlessly executed. Pristine print. thanks
A disgruntled CIA agent quits the service after office politics confine him to a desk job. He heads to Europe, where he links up with a former lover (and fellow ex-agent). All goes smoothly until the CIA agent acts on advice of yet another retired agent, a former Russian rival, who suggests he write a tell-all autobiography. Spitefully, the agent sends out copies of his first chapter to the heads of CIA agencies throughout the world--and from that point on, he and his companion don't have a moment's peace. This delights him now that all of his former colleagues are chasing after him - he has a reason to get up in the morning. Hopscotch stars Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson, Sam Waterston, Ned Beatty, Herbert Lom, David Matthau, George Baker, Ivor Roberts, Lucy Saroyan, and Severn Darden.

Walter Matthau was always the best manager of the Bad News Bears and a better Felix in The Odd Couple.

I don't care what anyone says. With the utmost respect, Matthew would have made a great "Dirty Harry". He had the look which said he has seen it all.
At the time, Eastwood was too young to have all that worldy experience.
芸達者ウォルター・マッソーの傑作「チャーリー・バリック」並みの
面白さ！堪能しました。
Lotsa holes but entertaining

@bb.finsclara1:23:21 - I love how he hands Yaskov a copy just like he's one of the team.
@kleverichanother excellent old school movie, enjoyed this one tremendously. good job posting it.
@frenchieboisseauPlane blast? he jumped or never was on the cabin?
@suatkaleli5075A fresh of air ! Simply excellent. Mozart and Rossini crown this story.
@maylisvandekamp8911Ahh the days before the internet.
@SwitchFoot2007Glenda Jackson miscast. I get the impression Matthau amd Jackson didn't much like working together . . .
@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301Great spy movie with great actors especially Walter Mattau and Glenda Jackson.
RIP to both.
In Addition.....All The Tapes We Viewed Were FBI NAZIZ Hugging Congratulating Castro FACT TRUTH
@OptimisticSatellite-zn1ynWeird, how many actors playing photogrepher don't know how to hold an SLR camera properly.
@johnglearnedthanks for posting.
@StMansurSo he bought an international pickup truck. And he had a international carryall in grumpy old men. Just a coincidence or did he like cornbinders..... hmmmm we may never know..
@davidchapman1519Good little film. Amazing how every character got through the whole movie without cussing like a sailor except for Ned Beatty. 🤷
@JackieParker-x5eA great film my first time watching. Thank you for posting. 😊
@phillipchapman169Great movie
@PamDesouzaGreat Movie 🎬 great direction, producing, and acting. Super casting. 👌
@marybravado-123xowalter mathau is over-rated, but otherwise good movie - specially glenda jackson
@GregorPhillips-j6zThis is delightful, thanks for posting it - the wittiness is excellent.
@martinlagrange8821Delightful.....................
@rev8605I'd never have imagined that there was a time when Glenda Jackson didn't know how to pronounce Montrachet.
@johnharding9792Funny.
@melvinglick9446Just brilliant
@jonathannettleton8399One of the best films I never saw.
@ArcThirdsI had an FBI appointment. I wore a medium brown shirt wth a dark brown tie. It was hot Phoenix. It did not go well nut I didn't know yhat. I found out later because the agent in charge told me before our next meeting a white shirt and a black tie. I did and then was cleared to talk to J. Edgar. Point? These guys have beards, live high and even mustaches. Think movie director was lazy. Plus disrespect and a fool for head man! .
@tommorgan1291I guess a lot of movie fans think of lists. If I made a list of "oddly satisfying" movies this would be on it. Those that for whatever reasons make them satisfying anytime and every time you see them. Ones that aren't so often on lists or aren't seen quite as much any longer. Bad News Bears. Harold and Maude. Being There. The In-Laws. The Gauntlet (1977). Blue Thunder. Hooper. ...
@dabruproI clicked [play] just for my appreciation of Matthau.
An unexpected bonus was the music (or rather, his enjoyment of it).
This is a great film. Excellent and thanks for sharing, James.
@JamesSmith-op7ycIt's always a pleasure to find a Walther Mathou film; I used to watch his TV series in the 60s. Extraña pareja
@adrianlois6284Very enjoyable. Thanx.
@jimarger8533These kinds of movies were way funnier without making everything some stupid punchline. "Can I get a sandwich?" Lol
@dallassegnoBack in the day I never noticed men wearing wigs , now It jumps off the screen. Still a good movie.
@ZIGSVIDSJust now seeing it for the first time. Wow! The opening scene, Europe, full of Europeans? Who'da thunk it.
@PovertyRiderRiddleThat "See You Next Tuesday" Myerson line almost slipped right by me. Bold writing for 1980.
@SuperChaoticusThis is funny, his character seems to have an endless supply of cash. And everybody knows where he was, e.g. "He's in London now, he flew from Bermuda yesterday, and hes going by the name ---." How do they keep coming up with all of this information?!They know everything about him and his where abouts, but they still can't find him, unless he wants them too. This is worse than Jason Bourne! Great movie though, I really enjoyed it Walter Mathau and Michael Cain, alway entertaining!
@Mr.56Goldtop1:25 is my favorite part! This scene is awesome with how it goes and turns out.
@asincerefanofearlholliman3912Presages Edward Snowden. ☄️🙏
@Bobby-f8e8bReal Michelob. !☄️🙏
@Bobby-f8e8bWalter Matthau's great artists❤
@ShaneCopenhafer-wx6ftOne of the great movies of its time - 1980 -- just before everything changed in The Culture.
@TheRasianiI saw the ending of this movie 2 times, IIRC, times in the 80’s, when they did movies of the week on TV. It was nice to finally watch the whole thing. I really enjoyed it.
@ilosbyi am actually surprised,,i really enjoyed it...and Glenda jackson !!!, and that car a VW squareback ...i had one just like it.......
