After looking back at its unnecessary late-arriving 1998 panned sequel in April, it's now time to take a look back at the original The Odd Couple" film from 1968. The movie proved to be a success due to its writing of Neil Simon and the chemistry between stars Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
The Odd Couple (1968) - 3 out of 4 stars
"Film version of Neil Simon stage hit about two divorced men living together, sloppy Oscar (Matthau) and fussy Felix (Lemmon). Lemmon's realistic performance makes character melancholy instead of funny; other surefire comic sequences remain intact. Later developed into two TV series. Followed by a sequel. Panavision."
