Review of Hopscotch (1980) by Stephen C — 19 Oct 2009
Likeable fim held togehter by Matthau and his performance as a CIA agent who decides to gain revenge on his rather stupid boss.
The film is fairly laid back in its approach to the subject and the whole cast deliver top grade performances.
Ned Beatty is great as Mattahu's dunderheaded boss and Herbert Lom and Glenda Jackson turn in neat performances.
But this really is all about Matthau ,he really steals the film as the opera loving agent who is always one step ahead of his former company.
The locations are ace and the whole film is neatly tied up in a bundle, one lost gem to savour.
