"Explosively funny!  A fine, dark, gag-filled hallucination!"  -The New York Times
  Powered by Walter Matthau's Oscar-winning performance as the quintessential All-American chiseler, The Fortune Cookie is a hysterically funny comedy that showcases filmmaker Billy Wilder at his uproarious best.
  Harry Hinkle (Jack Lemmon) is one lucky guy!  When he's accidentally clobbered by a 220-pound halfback, all Harry suffers is a slight concussion.  All, that is, until Whiplash Willie (Matthau) -- a legal scoundrel of the first order -- arrives on the scene!  For 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?
