Outstanding Comedy!
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were made for each other, and the rest of the cast is also excellent. The revolves around Matthau (newspaper editor) and Lemmon (lead crime reporter) - Lemmon is quitting to get married, Matthau will stop at nothing to prevent Lemmon's quitting; in between there's a hot story about an anarchist about to be executed for the accidental shooting of a policeman, an escape facilitated by an inept sheriff and a hare-brained psychiatrist that Lemmon accidentally gets in the middle of.
