Description

Neil Simon has a special genius for finding the great hilarity in ordinary people doing everyday things. Like two divorced men who decide to share a New York apartment. That's the premise of The Odd Couple, though there's nothing odd in the casting of two OscarĀ®-winning talents like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. The two veteran funnymen work together with the precision timing of a vaudeville team, but always with bright spontaneity. Lemmon plays fussy Felix, fastidious to a fault. He proves that cleanliness is next to insanity. Matthau is Oscar, who wreaks havoc on a tidy room with the speed and thoroughness of a tornado. An enduring and endearing picture, with the intelligence one usually misses in comedies.

    Perhaps my expectations were too high after reading all the glowing reviews. My wife and I were amused by the movie, but I think I laughed out loud only once.
  • Great theme song too!

    iTunes, PLEASE add the opening theme song of The Odd Couple by Neil Hefti, not by somebody else, to your library of songs that can be downloaded. I want to purchase and download the original theme song to enjoy! Hefti's theme song was fantastic! Thanks in advance!

    No words can express the hilarious classic movie that "The Odd Couple" is. A perfect chemistry and performance by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. You'll watch this again and again. One of Neil's Simon's best play adaptations.
