1968 • 105 minutos

Acerca de esta película

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.

One of the very few films I never tire of , I see nuances in the characters I had missed before . And its one of the very few films that you will always feel better about yourself when the credits roll . None of us are perfect but this memorable and cleverly penned dialogue shows us how our humanity can change the ones we love , wharts n all !
