This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Hopscotch is a 1980 American comedy spy film produced by Edie Landau and Ely A. Landau, directed by Ronald Neame, and stars Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson, Sam Waterston, Ned Beatty and Herbert Lom. The screenplay is written by Bryan Forbes and Brian Garfield, based on Garfield's 1975 novel.
Garfield took the name of his book from the children's playground game, "wherein a player has to retrieve 'an elusive object' while hopping on a sidewalk from space to space. One false step or clumsy move could mean falling and landing on one's backside."
Matthau's performance received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy at the 38th Golden Globe Awards. In 2002, the Criterion Collection released the film on DVD, followed by a 2K restoration on Blu-ray in 2017.
