Walter Matthau Steals the Show in His Oscar-Winning Role.

Amazingly original and intelligent comedy by Billy Wilder that has CBS cameraman Jack Lemmon injured one day by a football player while covering a Cleveland Browns game. Lemmon is rushed off the field and to the hospital but other than a few bruises he is just fine. Enter brother-in-law lawyer Walter Matthau (in a very well-deserved Oscar-winning role) who convinces Lemmon to fake various injuries so the duo can sue CBS, the NFL and the Cleveland Browns all for negligence. Lemmon is not too sure but when he realizes that he can get back with his ex-wife, he finally agrees to the charade. The biggest problem is that all-around-great-guy Ron Rich (the Cleveland Brown who collided with Lemmon on the sideline) feels lousy about the situation and starts to develop a bad drinking problem when he sees how poorly Lemmon is supposedly doing. The title refers to a strange message that Lemmon receives after eating some Chinese food. A great film that has lots of upside. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Curiosidades
Production was halted for weeks after Walter Matthau had a heart attack. He had slimmed from 190 to 160 pounds by the time filming was completed and wore a heavy black coat to conceal the weight loss.

Erros de gravação
When the "stop-action replay" of Harry's accident is shown, the camera is focused on Harry for a second or two before Boom Boom hits him. In reality, the camera would be following the action on the field and would not be focused on Harry, since the director and camera operator would not have known in advance that Boom Boom would hit Harry. Harry would not have come into view until after Boom Boom is knocked out of bounds.

Citações
Thompson: [about Willie Gingrich] This guy is so full of angles and gimmicks and twists; he starts to describe a doughnut and it comes out a pretzel.
O'Brien: Nevertheless, l suggest we try the friendly approach.
Thompson: OK, but after you shake hands with him, l suggest you count your fingers.
