the odd couple ( 3 plus outta 5 star ) like most people i will always feel that jack klugman and tony randall be the definitive odd couple . their incredible work on the tv series from the early to mid 70 be a highwater mark for television at the time . easily surpass the stage and screen version of the tale . nonetheless and how can you go wrong with a jack lemmon or walter matthau pairing . matthau be in especially good form a oscar and the slob . lemmon take a bit of get use to a felix and particularly if you have previously see tony randall outstanding performance . the script be good . definitely neil simon best . ( i will go on record here a state that neil simon be probably one of the bad and most over rat playwright of american theatre . ) the storyline be simple represent felix and a neat freak and newly separate from his wife move in with oscar and the slob who need some help save money for alimony payment . their living arrangement becomes much like a marriage as well and culminate in some amusing tiff and spat . lot of fun and some great one liner .
