“The Fortune Cookie” has long been one of my well-liked Billy Wilder movies, and I was joyful to glance it’s release on DVD, especially in the novel widescreen format. While the movie and performances are expansive (especially Walter Matthau in his Oscar-winning turn), and the script by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond hits the target, I was very disappointed in the lackluster transfer to disc that this unqualified classic received. Determined, the letterboxing is substantial, but halfway through the film, the sound quality takes a turn for the worse – less audible, and almost scratchy at times. Plus, the only “extra” is the new trailer, and there is no additional booklet. Surely a genius like Wilder deserves better preservation than this!
If I had to acquire a single movie showing Walter Matthau’s genius as an actor, this may be the one, for as apt as Jack Lemmon always is in a movie, Walter shines here as the shyster brother-in-law lawyer, and the Best Supporting Oscar was awarded to him rightly for this role. Matthau, always the man who acted through sicknesses went through a heart attack during this one. The scene that he runs up the stairs after receiving the settlement check, a involved leer could survey that he is thinner at the top of the stairs. That was because he shot that scene after his attack. This movie begins the long association with Lemmon/Matthau. The next movie was to be “The Peculiar Couple”. What a gigantic bunch of moving movies they were. And this was the first one.
