RIP Walter Matthau (October 1, 1920 - July 1, 2000), aged 79
You will always be remembered as a legend.
his work in FAILSAFE continues to amaze
There is nobody equivalent to Matthau in movies today. What a unique talent he was.
This speech has almost everything an Oscar speech should have. Humorous, witty, entertaining, and short (just under 45 seconds).
Also very humble.
Because Matthau was a real MENSCH.
Truly a fantastic actor. He might not be well known today. But he deserved that award. He has an award they don't just hand out. RIP Walter. You were a hero to me. You're legacy will live on forever.
+Ozzy Rubalcava He might not be well known today? If that's true--and I hope it isn't--I weep for this generation.

Sadly, it is absolutely true.
Magic, you're so spot on. Check out the joint interview that starts off with Jack by Parkisnon: just hilarious.
Walter Matthau, with Steve McQueen sitting behind him.
When Hollywood was golden.
And Mike Nichols sitting in front of him
jennifersman You took the words right out of my mouth
Mike directed him in The Odd Couple in Broadway.
@@jennifersman7990 And don't forget Steve's lovely and talented wife Neile Adams to Steve's left. Neile helped Steve to realize his destiny as one of the greatest stars in film history. Check out Steve and Neile acting together in an early gig with Peter Lorre in an Alfred Hitchcock episode called "Man From the South." ua-cam.com/video/5t78eqGsGKM/v-deo.html
James Feldman Yep, great example of Steve’s early work in TV, might’ve been before Wanted:Dead or Alive
He's one guy that when he speaks I end up with a grin. He's naturally very funny.
well said
Walter and Shelley...two of my favorites! Back when the Oscars had class and was fun to watch. Before speeches went on for 5 minutes and politics took over.
Amen
Great to see Walter Matthau win his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in "The Fortune Cookie" (1966). Matthau has great comic timing and you can't sit through his films without cracking a smile. He has quite an effect on people. RIP to the great Walter Matthau.
What a charmingly self-deprecating speech!
Walter Matthau's Oscar win for "The Fortune Cookie" was well-deserved. He was very funny in that role.
How about his performance in 1974s The Taking of Pelham 123!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495Yes! He was amazing in that role too! So was the late, great Robert Shaw. 😎👍
Matthau's performance in The Fortune Cookie was one of the best things that he ever did, approximately 50 years later. He was, of course, outstanding in The Odd Couple, and also did great work in A Face In The Crowd, A New Leaf, Charade, and a variety of other films.
Don't forget The Sunshine Boys, a film he deserved at least a nomination for
@@jennifersman7990 he was nominated for the sunshine Boys
Loved him in "Lonely Are the Brave."
"Judas, Morrie, Judas!!"
Along with Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men but The Odd Couple is a classic as well as Charade and The Fortune Cookie.
the card game scene with FELIX attemting to clean still kills me
Matthau was known for being a decent person. He never played the big Hollywood star. He was generally nice to cast on films he worked on.
When people recognized him on the street he was very cordial.
He was not too pleased about working with Barbara Streisand in Hello Dolly. Because she played the Prima Donna.
He was asked once, "What advice do you have for people who want to become Actors."
His reply was, "Don't do it." He was then asked why he did it.
He said, "It was the only way I could make a good living."
@@kevinhealey6540 Yes, true Kevin, I love Barbra, but the story (verified by several witnesses) is that one day (on the set of "Hello Dolly") Walter just exploded over what he saw as Streisand's unprofessionalism/selfishness/vanity. Those two never again worked together. No surprise! I did like the film in any event. Barbra never expressed any kind of true liking or praise for "Hello Dolly" - and rarely, if ever, mentioned her co-star Walter Matthau.
"The other day, as I was falling off my bicycle..."
How to make the most of an accident before this kind of moment 😄
Shelley Winters is lovely, what a great actress, as for Walter Matthau, he was a hell of an actor. His acceptance speech was as concise and brief as it gets, formidable. Thank you for posting.
Wow - the way the Oscars used to be - The list of nominees is amazing....Simple and just acknowledging the best performers for the year.....
Amazing job by Mr. Matthau. During production he suffered a serious heart attack and had to leave for quite some time. When he recovered, he had lost 30 lbs, had to wear heavy clothing to conceal it and still was able to complete the picture without missing a step.
Your right suffered a massive heart attack during filming of The Fortune Cookie and slimmed down from 190 to 160 pounds and his weight loss in film is noticeable from scene to scene. Filming had to be halted for weeks until Matthau recovered
Wow, did not know that! Would never have guessed. Matthau was phenomenal in "The Fortune Cookie".
And then he fell off his bicycle and broke his arm! Yikes. He shoulda hired a schister lawyer.
Dennis accidentally pushed Mr. Wilson off his bicycle.
So glad to finally see Walter Matthau's Oscar win for the Fortune Cookie! Shelley Winters was absolutely stunning in this gorgeous blue evening gown!
A great achievement for one of my favorites. But he had done quite a few films I enjoyed even more. He was a wonderful comedic gem.
Me and my husband loves him and Jack Lemmon 😍
Great actors I miss people like Jack Lemmon, Lee Marvin, James Coburn.
Great actor who is underrated, my favourite was plaza suite he was magnificent.rip
Walter was a brilliant actor who could play anything. He is terrific in comedies such as House Calls and Hopscotch where he is teamed with the great Glenda Jackson and the two really shines and the Chemistry between them are fantastic!
That's one of the best speeches I've heard. This guy was a true original.
Shelley Winters looks stunning in this clip.
Hetero!
Showed her lack of class with olly Reed on carson
....and witty too
Has to be one of the best Oscar speeches ever! But then, that mas Matthau: class all the way, and who could ever match that rubbery face. Loved him to pieces and still miss him!!
I miss the days when very talented actors accepted their award with humor , dignity and graciousness. Matthau was one of best .
Walter Matthau has great acting in The Fortune Cookie.
The Fortune Cookie is hilarious.
Excellent movie. I only caught it this afternoon on TCM and it was extremely enjoyable.
I was born in 1967, and I really like Walter Matthau.😊
The greatest actor who ever lived.
Beautiful acceptance speech. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
His wife Carol was the person on whom Truman Capote based the character of Holly Golightly in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.
Harringtonml54 A ghost? 😂
I'm an admirer of Truman Capote's work but hadn't known Carol Matthau was the inspiration for Holly. Here on You Tube you can see the Barbara Walters interview with Walter Matthau that is partly the Carol Matthau interview. She was a fascinating woman with her characteristic face powder. Carol was asked what she liked to do. "I like to do...nothing", she said. Carol Matthau also said, "I don't like to have to do things. I don't like being on the dime". She was a charismatic woman who had once been Jayne Mansfield's stand-in on Broadway for the play, "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" Walter Matthau was in the play and met his future wife there in the theater. She was married twice to the author William Saroyan then had a lasting marriage to Walter Matthau.
Sand Pebbles - an unforgettable film!
Awww. I miss him so much. One of my favorites 💖
Well deserved. I finally watched "The Fortune Cookie" the other day, and he was on comedic fire!
Also everyone who had seen Walter Matthau in the Fortune Cookie says his performance was a leading one. In best actor he would have been up against winner Paul Scofield in a Man for All Seasons or Richard Burton in Virginia Woolf so there is no way Matthau would have won there. But his role was a funny, well deserved win for Walter Matthau in the Fortune Cookie.
'A Man for All Seasons" is a marvelous film.
When the oscars was full the real stars
All old white men?
@@kevinwilson3609 DUmbass
@@MONIKKA5389 What intelligent commentary
@@kevinwilson3609 YES STOP WITH YOUR RACE CARD YOU FORGOT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN FOR THE GONE WITH THE WIND WON A OSCAR? THAT'S WHY YOU GUYS RUINED EVERYTHING WITH YOUR RACE CARD CRAP
@irishdude 413 You have named the ONLY 2 black actors in the 1st 40 years of the Oscars.
Wonderful clip. John mills showed up in a similiar condition 4 years later when he won for supporting actor with his arm in a sling. Walter was one of THE best actors of the 20th century. So talented and charismatic!
Camera man did a good job of cropping out Shelly Winters, it seems as though she never backed away and gave Walter Matthau the platform to himself.
And I hope she didn't have bad breath that night, because she laughed audibly right under his nose practically, the whole time.
When Shelly said that Poor Walt "had a tough time..getting here"..she was wasn't kidding..Walter broke his arm..never the less..he was there to accept his only Oscar for his work in Billy Wilder's:"The Fortune Cookie".
I love Shelley!
So sad James Mason never an Oscar. He was great in Georgy Girl , and in so many roles he played.But Matthau is great too,.
Should have won for A Star is Born he equaled Judy on every level.
I've never seen Georgy Girl, but IMO if there was a film he deserved the Oscar for, it was The Verdict
Walter should always be remembered for "enteerr, enteer in The Sunshine Boys"
Crazy - Bedbug..
So many great performances! Georgy Girl is one of my favorite movies, and James Mason was amazing. Of course, Walter Matthau deserved it too.
R.I.P to my dawg Steve Mcqueen he's behind Walter
I truly enjoy every movie Walter Matthau has made
CHARLEY VARRICK
Whiplash Willie Gingrich the shyster brother-in-law classically played by the incomparable Walter Matthau. As one of the other characters in the movie says, "He could find a loophole in the Ten Commandments." This was his first co-starring part with Jack Lemmon and from there it was on to screen immortality. R.I.P. Lemmon and Matthau.
Both Mr. Lemmon and Matthau where abselotely screen legends. But Lemmon (who is in my top 4 best actors EVER) is much better than the other. :D
In more recent times, I've become convinced the first Lemmon and Matthau collaboration is the best.
Poor guy. suffered a heart attack while making the movie, then fell off a bike and got all banged up.
Mr Wiiiiilllsooon!
The speeches were so short and funny!
I still think Richard Crenna should have been nominated as well. Captain Collins is an incredibly complex character. The great-and horrifying- sequence in The Sand Pebbles when Mako is being tortured to death is unforgettable. "What are they saying? " They are saying: "See what we do to the running dog.""One thousand dollars!" "Holman! Go below or I'll have you shot fo a mutineer!' "Somebody shot somebody!" They don't make them like they used to..
Well Put !
He was brilliant in Fortune Cookie and really should have won for Best Actor but at least he got recognized for how great he was. His shyster lawyer is a classic comedy character so hilarious and clever he knew everything about injury law and did his job perfectly.
Steve McQueen looking gorgeous behind Walter.
nice seeing Steve McQueen there, on the night of his one and only Oscar nomination
Thank you for mentioning that, and with his first wife too
Great movie The Fortune Cookie .
For his winning role, filming had to be interrupted as he had a major heart attack. Thank goodness they waited for him to recover and didn't replace him.
Ha ha! The guy sitting next to Walter Mathau is asleep...@1:20
Lynn Turman And he looks almost exactly like jay leno!
Oh wow!! good eye
Great observation. Unbelievable. I hope it isn't a friend of his.
Maybe a photo bomb?
This is the stuff you see when you watch it at half speed. Its so fast you would have missed it. Good eye.
That Shelley Winters'll put your eye out!
Back when Oscars were really very beautiful and scenic to watch. Today's Oscars and actors are nowhere near to old actors.
That was his wife Carol who had her own style like Gloria Vanderbilt. That White powdered face that was so popular in the 40's. That's Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon sitting across the aisle from the Matthaus.
What a tough category. They were all superb. Any of them could have won and it would have been the right choice.
Walter Matthau is my fave hollywood comedy actor
Hey Matthau You Get the # of That Truck? LOL, (smile)
I knew Walter mathau from HANGIN ON only.. but wow he's the best
He was excellent in this movie.
We are surely missing the classiness of the actors of the short past
Mako man what a legend
Matthau's was a lead performance; he should've been nominated in the lead category. This would've opened a fifth spot for the much-deserved Richard Attenborough in "The Sand Pepples" and the winner should've been George Segal in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."
Some years later, in 1975, George Burns would be placed in the Supporting category for "The Sunshine Boys" in which he costarred with Mathau and, despite his being a lead role, Burns would win also.
The perfect Walt Disney and Albert Einstein. We all miss you.
That smile in “ Pelham 123…” magic
Walter Matthau was great in Charley varrick one of t'he best parts he played durlng t'he 1970s
The world was a better place back then.
classically understated speech, nothing like the ones you see now.
Yeah they either bawl and simper their way through their speech or they make pointless political drivel.
what a genius he was
Mako’s performance in The Sand Pebbles was Oscar worthy as well.
I wanted Mako to win!
His full name was Makoto Iwamatusu
Walter performed in the movie version of"The Odd Couple"with the same broken arm.
It's funny that this clip is in color, while the movie ("The Fortune Cookie") was in black & white.
Gratitude. Where has it gone?
People mistake interest in their work with importance. There's much interest in entertainment but that overstates it's importance. This leads to overinflated egos, in my most humble opinion.
RIP George Segal ( 1933-2021 )
to all youngsters out there.... that's Walter Matthau aka Mr. Wilson of Dennis the Menace the movie
Young people don't only know him from Dennis the menace movie. Please.
Good lord, did he know there was a Ghost sitting next to him??? LOL!!
Walter Matthau was truly a great talent Amazing guy By the way this is when the Oscars had Class but no more, to bad isn't it
The year that I was born.
What a trulwy great actor
Meet Whiplash Willie, such a fantastic film, with his signature swagger and unique accent, well deserved
Recently saw “Sand Pebbles” with Steve McQueen. Mako was excellent. Looks like he and Matthau were the only ones to show up! And boy, didn’t Shelley have a hard time letting go of the spotlight!
I believe he was in a motorcycle crash two days before. No one was sure he would show. And he was the only winner acting wise to be there. Hey how about posting Paul Scofield's win? He wasn't there but I remember a seeing a great pic of the Victorian Wendy Hiller accepting from a marvelous mini-skirted Julie Christie. A truly 60s moment!
a real man
A natural born comedian, actor, and good man.
2:10 Hi Mr. Wilson. hehehehehe
Walter Matthau richly deserved the Oscar for his portrayal of "Whiplash" Willie in Billy Wilder's "The Fortune Cookie". Wilder had wanted Matthau to be cast opposite Marilyn Monroe in his film adaptation of "The Seven Year Itch" but was vetoed by the studio. Curiously, Matthau had been known primarily as a dramatic actor in "Charade", "A Face In The Crowd" and "Fail Safe'"; after this film, and "The Odd Couple", he was recognized as a premier comedic actor. He worked with Wilder and Lemmon again
Don't forget King Creole opposite Elvis
Damn --- Shelley Winters looks gorgeous here. That sapphire and Diamond necklace -- I’ll take THAT. You can keep the Oscar.
Totally cool. Walter Matthau was one of the best. Also, enjoyed the Steve McQueen sighting (sitting behind Matthau). Anyone know the story behind his injuries? Is there any truth to the bicycle story?
That year, only 9 of the 20 nominees showed up for the acting awards. The following year, thanks to Academy President Gregory Peck, 18 of 19 living nominees made it (Spencer Tracy had passed away). Only Katherine Hepburn, who was in France filming "The Madwoman Of Chaillot" was not there.
Amazing. It was almost like they couldn't care less, sort of a statement about the stupidity of awards.
that must be Shelley's own necklace as she wears it on the red carpet in the 90's!
To me, it doesn't matter his role was leading or supporting. Walter Matthau's performance in "The Fortune Cookie" was so great that you HAVE to reward it. Without him, the film would not be half as good or as memorable. That's how great his performance was.
Definitely! His performance made the movie.
The comments don’t mention so I’ll have to, I guess nobody else saw this telecast when it was new in 1967 like I did … I was 11 then; Walter is the ONLY winner there who showed up, and my little Oscar book said he was in a car accident… NO, Sandy Dennis wasn’t there, nor Liz Taylor, or that Man for all Seasons guy … 😮
YES, I saw “ The Fortune Cookie “ years later - damn good acting from Walter 😊😊😊
I don’t drink at all. But I’m sure Shelly Winters would be fun to have lots of drinks with.
