About this product

Product Information

Starring the legendary duo of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, Wilder's characteristically cynical comedy again explores the corrupting influence of money. When TV-cameraman Harry Hinkle (Lemmon) is slightly injured while covering a football game, Willie Gingrich (Matthau), his ambulance-chasing attorney of a brother-in-law sees the opportunity for a major score. Persuading Lemmon to exaggerate the extent of the damage, Matthau sues the football team, the network and the stadium for a fortune. Meanwhile Boom Boom Jackson (Ron Rich) the good-natured player who ran over Lemmon, guiltily suspends his career to care for his "victim," and Matthau calls in Lemmon's ex-wife (Judy West) whose compassion seems to be stimulated by the sound of money. But the deception begins to wear on Lemmon, who becomes ever more disgusted with himself for exploiting the innocent player, and with the blatant venality of his ex. Matthau however, has no intention of seeing his percentage of a potentially huge settlement go up in smoke. Although Lemmon give a finely-modulated performance as a reluctant scam-artist, Matthau's lawyer, a Volpone-like monster of avarice, has the best lines in a hilarious film that suggest a slight mellowing in the director's perspective on human nature.

    The best experience I've had on eBay in a very long time. Just a terrific proprietor. Priced well. Shipped next day. And my package arrived from across the country in 2 days. Packed impeccably too. And the personal touch of even taking the time out to include a handwritten note with my item is so cool. Service like this is rare nowadays. Just a total class act. Thank you so much!!!

    Mmm... cookies

    Don't miss an opportunity to catch Lemmon and Matthau in this comedy classic directed by Billy Wilder. No fast-action, special-effects ladened, curse-filled sci-fi here. Clean and smart dialogue await viewers who watch this film from the mid 60s. Enjoy. Oh, only 4/5 stars as the DVD copy had multiple picture shakes and fades, but those didn't last long enough to affect the viewer's attention.

    The Fortune Cookie (DVD, 2001)

    This is a hilarious movie starring the comedic duo of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Harry Hinkle (Jack Lemmon), as a CBS cameraman gets injured when football player Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson (Ron Rich) runs into him while he is covering a Browns game at Cleveland Stadium. Hinkle's injuries are minor, but his conniving lawyer brother-in-law "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich (Walter Matthau) convinces him to pretend that his legs have been paralyzed. This way, they can receive a huge settlement from the insurance company. Hinkle reluctantly goes along with the scheme because he's still in love with his ex-wife, Sandy, and it might win her back. The insurance company suspects that the paralysis is a fake one, and so a cat-and-mouse game begins between its investigator, Chester Purkey, and ...

    Lemmon, Matthau and Wilder At their Best

    Hilarious movie with some great drama intertwined: a phony "whiplash" scheme (in this situation tv cameraman Jack Lemmon is bowled over by a star running back on national TV), complete with the sleazy ambulance chasing lawyer/brother in law (Walter Matthau), a greedy ex wife, and guilt ridden football star gets out of hand. Great story and snappy dialogue by the incomparable Billy Wilder. The film is 50 years old this year (2016) but hasn't aged a bit. Many terrific supporting actors. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau above all are a fantastic combo, at the top of their game. Must see. Happy to get this out of print DVD.
