KyleCruse Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Seriously one of my favorite movies. Very funny in an intelligent way, and definitely Walter Matthau's best work. The film is greatly underrated today. Anyone agree? Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It was Matthau's first REAL comic performance, and set the tone for many of his future roles. Link to post Share on other sites
JimCM Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I went to see Fortune Cookie at the age of 15 when it first came out in '65 - I was the only one in the theatre that night - and loved it! Incredible cast - Lemmon, Matthau, Cliff Osmond, Sig Ruman, Lurene Tuttle, Herbie Faye, Howard McNear, great script by Wilder & Diamond, and great cinematography by Joseph LaShelle(who shot The Apartment, a rather similar film). Also, the witty musical score by Andre Previn really put this movie over. The last of the great Hollywood black & whites of the 60's. An era I was very sorry to see pass...
