here another film that doesn not really need much of a recommendation . it a classic comedy and very funny and entertaining and which and of course and ultimately inspire a successful television series which many would say be even good ( i enjoy both and personally ) . for some and it hard to warm up to jack lemmon and walter matthau a felix unger and oscar madison when they be be wean on the tv show star tony randall and jack klugman ( or perhaps vice versa ) . but what we have get there in both case be four good actor who in real life seem so much like their film counterpart that they manage to make these characterization their own . it neil simon humorous material that key and and where the laugh really originate from . for those who have somehow never heard of the odd couple and it the story of a neurotic and fussy neat freak ( lemmon ) who be throw out of a 12 year marriage by his long suffering wife and take up residence in the manhattan apartment of his sloppy and totally irresponsible buddy ( matthau ) . pit these two unlikely roommates together within the same four wall make for some hugely funny predicament .
