Another likeable Matthau/Lemmon vehicle, but it lacks the resonance of Wilders best efforts.

A great comedy about a fake injury and the ultimate shyster played perfectly by Walter Matthau. The film was just fun to watch for me, in that I liked seeing all their various stunts to attempt to pull off their phony law suit. The comedy made me laugh therefore it was good. This one interestingly worked better than expected because it is slightly serious with the moral dilemma one character has but since it does not get too absorbed in that it works.

Even though the Matthau-Lemmon duo is funny, I wasn't expecting much, because you never hear about this movie!! However, it was really good and remains among my top Billy Wilder favorites and is probably his funniest.

Hard to believe this was the first Lemmon/Matthau movie. Those two were born to work together, like Laurel and Hardy. Only Wilder could write and direct so brilliant a comedy and then be so lucky to have Jack and Walter make it so perfect. But that really doesn't matter, since the movie is so absolutely great.
