Neil Simon has a special genius for finding the great hilarity in ordinary people doing everyday things.Like two divorced men who decide to share a New York apartment.That's the premise of The Odd Couple, though there's nothing odd in the casting of two Oscar-winning talents like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.The two veteran funnymen work together with the precision timing of a vaudeville team, but always with bright spontaneity.Lemmon plays fussy Felix, fastidious to a fault.He proves that cleanliness is next to insanity.Mattau is Oscar, who wreaks havoc on a tidy room with the speed and thoroughness of a tornado.An enduring and endearing picture, with the intelligence one usually misses in comedies.
