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 forst 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?
