Odd Couple Collection, The (Imprint Collection Special Edition)
A 3-disc celebration of Neil Simon’s legendary play ‘ The Odd Couple’.
In the original 1968 film starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, two divorced men decide to share an apartment. Felix Ungar is fussy and fastidious. Oscar Maddison is slovenly and sloppy. Sure, they can live together… but can they live together without killing each other?
In the 1998 reunion film, its twenty years later, and having gone their separate ways, the two are now together again en route to the wedding of their children. They’ve got the map, the rental car… and a tankful of arguments.
In the 1970s television series, can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy? Ten episodes covering all five seasons explore this rhetorical question. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman make the characters their own in the award-winning television version.
