"Billy Wilder’s best picture since The Apartment, his funniest since Some Like It Hot."—James Powers, The Hollywood Reporter
"An explosively funny live-action cartoon...[that] has style and taste."—Vincent Canby, The New York Times
Harry Hinkle (Jack Lemmon) is accidentally clobbered by a 220-pound halfback, but all he suffers is a slight concussion. All, that is, until Whiplash Willie (Walter Matthau)—a legal scoundrel of the first order—arrives on the scene. If Harry follows shyster Willie’s advice and feigns a crippling injury, the two charlatans can split a cool million in phony insurance claims. But can Willie’s world-class finagling dispel those ominous words that lie within the fortune cookie on Harry’s hospital plate: "You can’t fool all of the people all of the time?" The first film to feature the dynamic duo of Matthau and Lemmon (The Odd Couple) also features an Oscar-winning performance by Matthau as an archetypal all-American swindler and beautiful black-and-white cinematography by Joseph LaShelle (Laura).
