I grew up on Walter Matthau movies. He was such an unlikely action hero, but I loved watching him.
by e40 - Hopscotch (1980) is another great Walter Matthau movie. He is just having fun the whole time.by derf_

- Watch it along with "The Conversation", from the same era. Watch "Breakdown: 1975" for the context..by dboreham
- I also love the old switchboards and office furniture. It is indeed a time capsule.
