The Odd Couple (1968)

Slobbish sports journalist Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau) grudgingly opened his unkempt NYC apartment to a poker buddy--neurotically neat newswriter Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon)--who’d just been shown the door by his wife. It was a decision he’d immediately regret, as his friend’s fastidiousness drove him into a frenzy. Superlative screen take on Neil Simon’s Broadway classic co-stars Herb Edelman, John Fiedler, and Monica Evans and Carole Shelley as the Pigeon Sisters. 105 min. C/Rtg: G

Can the feuding former roommates tolerate each other long enough to survive a wacky road trip to see Oscar’s son marry Felix’s daughter? Christine Baranski, Barnard Hughes, and Jonathan Silverman also star. 97 min. C/Rtg: PG-13
