A 1980 adaptation of the Brian Garfield novel of the same name, co-written by the original author and directed by Ronald Neame.This Cold War-era espionage comedy stars Walter Matthau as Miles Kendig, a CIA field agent who is Kicked Upstairs after refusing to terminate his KGB counterpart, an affable operator named Yaskov (Herbert Lom). His boss, Myerson (Ned Beatty), is the immature bureaucrat who does the kicking — and screaming.Rather than ride a desk for the next few years, Kendig decides to write and publish his memoirs, including thirty years' worth of embarrassing state secrets. Aided by his lover Isobel (Glenda Jackson) and hunted by his protégé Joe Cutter (Sam Waterston), Kendig skips around the globe as both the CIA and KGB race to apprehend him... or kill him. | |

Retired Badass | |
| Hopscotch / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: Kendig. The entire movie is his demonstration of how forcing a badass into retirement can backfire. Isobel, who left the CIA some years ago when the work got dirty. She's eminently capable of predicting their tricks and fending them off. | |

The Nondescript | |
| Hopscotch / int_2ffb4a4d | comment |
The Nondescript: More of a characteristic of double agents, according to Yaskov, but Kendig (as played by Matthau) is an ordinary-looking man you'd pass in the street. He gives himself distinguishing characteristics when he wants to be spotted, like when he loudly sings opera while crossing the Swiss border. | |

Bad Boss: Myerson. At the start, he summons Kendig to his office and then calls Mrs. Myerson to discuss a trivial matter when Kendig tries to explain why he didn't arrest Yaskov, before brushing off the (actually rather sensible from a long-term counterintelligence perspective) explanation and then transferring him to records. When Kendig starts sending chapters out, Myerson immediately decides to have him killed rather than simply arrest him. | |

Crazy-Prepared: When Kendig leaves Myerson's office after being Reassigned to Antarctica, he takes less than 5 seconds to form his exit strategy, which involves swapping the contents of his file with the contents of an alphabetically-adjacent person's file whose name he clearly had already memorized in case such need ever arose. | |

Not What It Looks Like: Kendig and Yaskov share some vodka after Kendig is fired, and Follett is there to take pictures. (They notice him, but Kendig brushes it off.) Myerson thinks it means that Kendig is defecting—which is what Yaskov is offering, but Cutter says Kendig would never do so, and he's right. | |

Inter-Service Rivalry | |
| Hopscotch / int_d54b9eb3 | comment |
Interservice Rivalry: The FBI man at Myerson's house makes a point to remind Myerson and his CIA people that the FBI is running the show. Later, Myerson says that FBI must stand for "fucking ball-busting imbeciles." | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
| Hopscotch / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: Myerson tries to threaten the British publisher this way. The publisher is unfazed, having already made plans to ensure the safety of the manuscript and the publishing process. | |

The Mole | |
| Hopscotch / int_e70127 | comment |
When Yaskov suggests he might run off instead of handing over what The Mole gave him, Kendig says they'd look ridiculous chasing each other like Laurel and Hardy. | |

MacGyvering | |
| Hopscotch / int_fd5603b | comment |
MacGyvering: A minor instance when Kendig is held up by some good-natured British coppers. He puts together a small device that blows a fuse in the station when he plugs it in. | |
