Matthau and Lemmon = The ultimate comedy couple! It does'nt have an easy moment during the whole picture and you get really fascinated by Billy Wilder's direction and the two marvellous actors performances.

MCT:June 7, 2007A collection of the best duets in raging seventies! Just imagine that I'm the cop and ... Bang Bang! It will shut you down, you will hit the ground, when watching this lovely adaptation of Ben Hecht's play! A mixture of classic Wilder's and modern Allen's!

MCT:February 3, 2007I confess, I've actually only seen the last half of this movie, but I found it amusing and enjoyable.

MCT:December 24, 2006Disappointing remake of His Girl Friday kept watchable by the comic talents of one of the best double acts in the business.

Funniest and finest comedy ever! Wilder's bitterness about press and power, Lemmon and Matthau's ability in dominating the scene, the story entertaining 100%, the mixture is perfectly shaken!

MCT:October 13, 2006Never have I been so disappointed in such a dream collaboration in my life. Stick with "His Girl Friday".

The comic pair of Lemmon and Matthau resume their tried-and-true roles of the grumpy chauvinist and the prissy rich man. One would feel this would be a tired match, but the actors pull it off in this good comedy about a journalist wanting to quit his profession and the news-hungry boss that stops at nothing to keep him. Some great Cold War-era overtones.

This movie is based on the same play His Girl Friday is based on, and was also the first Lemmon-Matthau movie I'd ever seen. I didn't like His Girl Friday much the first time I watched it three years ago but this wasn't at all bad, so I now wonder if I'd like the first movie better. Desafortunademente, I have not much to say about this movie except that it was a fairly decent comedy, neither brilliant nor horrendous.
