Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht's classic newspaper comedy--about a conniving editor who talks his star reporter out of getting married long enough to cover a big story--has survived lesser adaptations than this one. (Ever see Switching Channels?) But few have been more disappointing. Billy Wilder teamed Walter Matthau (as the unscrupulous editor) and Jack Lemmon (as the fast-talking reporter), who try to get the scoop on everyone else in the story of a convicted killer who escapes on his way to the electric chair.

An attempt to bottle the same lightning that struck with The Sting--but Wilder, Lemmon, and Matthau just can't do it. --Marshall Fine

There are no words for this dynamic duo! This is one of the last movies they worked together in the "good old days" - A classic one you should not miss. (It is actual my second best after the "Fortune cookie")

I love it. It's funny as hell! I must have watched the movie for at least 5 times in the past 7 years.

This a classic, from the Ben Hecht, James McArthur play of the same name.
With Jack Lemmon as Hildy Jhonson and and Walter Mathau as his editor
Walter Burns, it is a laugh a minute.
