Not top drawer Wilder but still has much to offer, notice parallel action of men with cigars. Matthau wins Oscar as ambulance chasing lawyer, Lemmon the party 'injured' by Ron Rich ('Boom Boom Jackson'), with Judi West and Cliff Osmond.
Great mournful score by André Previn.
Love the subtlety of the lens through the blind visible in the long shots.
Lemmon great as usual. Scene where he's having fingers tested - "Sharp...Dull" - is hilarious.
