I saw this as a teenager living in Europe shortly after it came out. It's one of those clever story lines that you don't forget. Of course Walter is fantastic in the lead role.

What I appreciated was the realism of the story, except for two things at the end of the film such as no one coming to investigate a loud chase scenes and firebombing? Overall, the ending, however, was a very satisfying one, and one that brings you back for future viewings. Matthau also makes the film realistic, as he typecast perfectly ... Read More
