The Fortune Cookie: Review

starstarstarstar
A very funny morality tale that's a deft mixture of cynicism, wit and idealism as only director Billy Wilder could do it. Jack Lemmon stars as a CBS cameraman who's flattened on the sidelines by a Cleveland Browns running back (Ron Rich) and rushed to the hospital. Although he's really fine, the cameraman's shyster brother-in-law (Walter Matthau), convinces him to fake an injury and sue the Browns, CBS and the Cleveland stadium for $1 million.
