Powered by Walter Matthau's Oscar®-winning performance (1967, Best Supporting Actor) and his chemistry with Jack Lemmon, this classic comedy showcases filmmaker Billy Wilder at his uproarious best. When TV cameraman Harry Hinkle (Lemmon) is accidentally clobbered during a football game by a 200-pound halfback, his brother-in-law, legal scoundrel "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich (Matthau), advises Harry to feign a serious injury so the two can split a cool million in phony insurance claims!
