# 163 - Hopscotch

 


Never heard of this one before - a comedy which I guess is having fun with the heavy spy genre of the 70's and 80's.   Honestly, not a lot I want to say - it was fun and entertaining and I am reminded of how good Walter Matthau is and it's fun to see a very young Sam Waterson when I'm used to him being the 70 year old DA in Law and Order.

Basically Walter Matthau plays a spy who they try to assign to a desk and he bolts and starts writing a spy tell-all which sends all the intelligence agencies after him in a manhunt.  This was pretty funny stuff and I liked it.   I was too young to hear of it before of this but I guess it was well known.

I didn't think there was anything super extraordinary about it but it's here, it's number #163, and it was fun
