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 Oscar--«-winning talents like Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau. 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 on usually misses in comedies.
