The Odd Couple

The Odd Couple
1968
Directed by: Gene Saks
Starring: Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau

Felix Ungar (Lemmon) is going through a divorce with his wife. Felix's good friend Oscar Madison (Matthau) takes him into his home because Felix has no where else to go. Things start out great but tensions rise as we discover just how much of a neat freak Felix is and just how messy Oscar is.

This is a great story based on the play by Neil Simon. It is your classic story of opposites coliding. This however is one of the first movies to play with this plot and to pull it off with such class. This is also the first time we get to see Lemmon and Matthau together on the screen. These two work so well with each other and are by far the best comedy due. Its a classic comedy that everyone both young and old should have to see.
