The Odd Couple (1968 Gene Saks)

A well familiar collection of great one-liners (unmistakably a filmed play, by Neil Simon) performed by a talented cast, Matthau and Lemmon making an unforgettable pairing.


"He has so many credit cards that if anything happens to Felix, America lights up."
"Now it's garbage."
"I've got brown sandwiches and I've got green sandwiches"
"You'll be the first one I call." etc.


The card players whose names we always forget: (l to r) John Fiedler, Herb(ert) Edelman,  Larry Haines, David Sheiner.


 The Coo Coo Pigeon sisters: Carole Shelley (the redhead) and Monica Evans.

Bizarrely the third film today featuring a suicide attempt. It must have been Suicide Sunday.
