The Fortune Cookie (1966)


A crooked lawyer persuades his brother-in-law to feign a serious injury.

Typically black Billy Wilder comedy outstays its welcome a bit, but the star duo Lemmon-Matthau is worth the watch.

Halliwell*: "Flat, stretched-out, only occasionally effective comedy which relies too much on mordant attitudes and a single star performance."

Maltin***: "Biting Wilder comedy...Matthau's Oscar-winning performance hits home."
