The product arrived in good condition in a timely manner.

This is a movie that my wife and I have loved for a long time and only had it on Beta tape. This is the second purchase of this DVD, this time for a sick friend to cheeer him up.

As always, the tape came in good condition, and as promised as far as delivery.

Better with age.

I remember seeing this when it was just out. I thought Glenda was a little old for a leading lady. Now, I think she's quite charming. The movie has a mellow air to it. No violence or vulgarity; pleasant viewing. Open up a bottle of wine and start the movie.

A great caper movie -- but watch the language

You know the plot already if you're looking at these reviews so I want to mention two things. First, Though ostensibly a thriller/spy movie, at heart it's a caper movie where a master "outlaw" (Matheau", playing a rogue agent) outwits the police (the CIA, in this case). For it's wit, it's outstanding cast and it's wry humor I give it 5 stars.

Second, the language can be a problem with plenty of four letter words uttered, as one of the reviewers makes note of. So what would otherwise be a very suitable family movie may not be in your case. The version I saw (not this DVD) had the bad language dubbed out which was actually somewhat jarring.

Miles Kendig knows too much. One of the CIA?s top international operatives, he suddenly finds himself relegated to a desk job in an agency power play. Unwilling to go quietly, Kendig, with the aid of a chic Viennese widow, puts himself back in the game by writing a memoir exposing the innermost secrets of every major intelligence agency in the world. The CIA wants Kendig dead, but he refuses to cooperate?he?s having too much fun. Based on Brian Garfield?s best-selling novel, and starring the inimitable comic team of Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson, Ronald Neame?s Hopscotch is a smart and stylish tale of international intrigue and a cat-and-mouse comedy.
