One of the few movies on all my devices.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, finally on iTunes. It is in the Drama section, but it is a comedy. Witty and funny in the best sense, Walter Matthau is at his slouchy, comic best, and his pairing with the cool, deadpan Glenda Jackson is perfect. Sam Waterston is the ideal straight man and Ned Beatty the quintessential clueless, explosive, and outsmarted CIA boss. A great team, a funny movie that is entertaining over and over again because it is so well done.
A classic movie everyone needs to see once
One of my personal favorites nobody seems to talk about or even just know. Walter Matthau does a splendid job fleshing out his character as well as the memorable Glenda Jackson and Ned Beatty did theirs. An underated gem, Hopscotch is a gem. "No bullets Joe. I'm proud of you."
Awesome
