The Fortune Cookie
One of Billy Wilder's bigger hits finds him playing it safe and clipping his own creative
wings. Walter Matthau is Whiplash Willie, the sleaziest ambulance-chaser in the biz, conniving
with his unwilling brother-in-law Jack Lemmon to fleece an insurance company. Good stuff here,
but not top Wilder by a long shot. So sue me.
