I simply love Walter Matthau, he is one of the best actors of all time and together with Gian Maria Volontè, Marlon Brando and a few others, a great favorite of mine. But, this movie is not his best movie. His best movie is "Charley Varrick". This "Hopscotch" is a bit boring, nothing much happens until the 53rd minute. Too many repeated scenes in which Matthau types the manuscript for the bomb book on his typewriter, listening to Mozart. Don't get me wrong, I also love Mozart, very much. And I was once very active with a typewriter myself. But after the 53rd minute, things change, the exciting action begins, the suspense and the unexpected begin, the film becomes truly captivating. I will not say more in this regard. Glenda Jackson is delicious in a not very big role, Herbert Lom, likewise, delicious and not a very big role. Despite the lengths of the first hour of the film, it is absolutely worth seeing.
