HOPSCOTCH (1980) Decoded!

Join Dan and Tom as they decode the 1980 spy movie HOPSCOTCH. It has a star-studded cast and is a comedy. But, is it worth a watch? Listen to find out.

Walter Matthau plays the spy, Miles Kendig who has a run in with his boss. What happens next helps set up the reason for the name of the movie, HOPSCOTCH. The other lead actors for the movie include Glenda Jackson, Ned Beatty, and Sam Waterston.

Some of the topics we discuss include in this review are:

· How the Oktoberfest scene was filmed

· The music and its importance to the movie – Why Mozart?

· Walter Matthau's influence on the script and casting

· The cast and their roles

· What movies may have influenced some of the scenes?

· The director and screenwriter

· The comedy

· Who was it that flew the seaplane and why her dialogue with Kendrig was so funny.
