@all ~ question: I like the music into this bar where Felix goes in.(gogo-table dance??) Does anyone knows the title of the piece they are playing or band namewhich is playing?
Beside of that this is one of my absolute must favs. Saw it first time when I was 11 years old. Still great! Greetz from Germany! thx for reply!
This was one of the funniest films I have ever seen. I had a smile on my face all the way through. But the sequel... Oh my god, the sequel is the worst pile of turd ever.
@Eliskoopa You are right about that sequel. To see more good Lemmon and Matthau check out The Fortune Cookie (1966 written and directed by Milly Wilder). Not as achingly hilarious as the Odd Couple but still very good.
@rhill54 Thanks, I'm going to watch it with my girlfriend tomorrow. We liked The Odd Couple so much. it was hillarious. About the sequel - the authours completely missed the point. It was so stupid.
Lemmon is walking down W. 47th between Seventh and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan in the very opening. The aerial shows the neon signs of crummy hotels on 47th...in distance on right you can see the version of the (still present though greatly altered) Coca-Cola ad at 47th and Broadway in Times Square. The Flanders Hotel Lemmon goes into was demolished and there's a parking garage there now. St. Francis Hotel (dump shown on "Big" (1988) is at lower left in street aerial - now renovated.
@Philacav Thanks for that information. That was very interesting. I wonder if Child's or the Metropole are still around? I also wonder if there apartment was on Central Park West or not? The mind reels. :) I remember when there both on the roof and the highway {i forget the name} can be seen below.
@Buffalobigboy69 Child's restaurants were all out of business by the 1970's; they were cafeteria format restaurants and had been around since the early 20th century. The Metropole is there, but is called "Lace", a strip club. The Metropole name survived into the early 90's. It had been a famous jazz club; in Odd Couple, it was in the midst of transitioning to strip club. Apartment was on Riverside Drive; the highway you see is NY Route 9W, or "West Side Highway".
@Philacav Thank-you. Your certainly a fountain of knowledge. Thinking about it. I sure wish i could have afforded Oscars apartment in 1968 or even now. He really must have been the NYC's highest paid sports writer!
Thank You So Much ! So Many Ppl Are Paying Youtube To See This Movie When You Catch At The Corner Of Your'e Eye! I Almost Payed To See This Movie. Jack Lemmon & Walter Mattau Are Brilliant Actors! Every Single Scene Is Pitch Perfect! Its So Sad That They Died They Were Brilliant Actors. No Movie Is This Good Like This Anymore. These Actors and These Sets And These Perfect Scene's Are Lengendary!
love this one and the second one , they both make me laugh and confort me lol wierd to say they are movies to have a nice snooze to . or watch and laugh your ass off
Saw this movie for the first time 2 days ago and man was I missing out. I love the scence where Felix and Oscar meet the sisters. Awkard and funny as hell.

Great film! What are some other good films by J. Lemmon and Walter? I've seen Grumpy and grumpier old men, but what about some real classics from them?
@roenstein Type in The Sunshine Boys and click on the second one. It's Walter Matthau and George Burns. Everytime I watch this movie I laugh so hard I get tears. It was only put up a week ago and I found it out of luck because whenever someone puts it up it doesn't stay very long. I think George Burns was 79 when he won an Oscar for it.
@califgirl101 It was never shown on TCM before,but it was on AMC though.Hey we might have different schedules on our tv stations,so that could be the reason why.
@mustangsdiehard1fan I understand that they showed The Odd Couple on AMC the first time but, if you go to the turner classic movies website and type in The Odd Couple you can see for yourself when they'll be showing it again! There's your proof and here's your sign!
@califgirl101 Ok,it wasn't the first time on AMC by the way.The Odd Couple had always been on the station for years.They never showed it on TCM before here so.It's not on the TCM website now,you mean't American movie classics.
@mustangsdiehard1fan Yes, at the time it was American Movie Classics but, again go back into the turner classic movies website and just type in The Odd Couple and find out if and when it will be on again!
@califgirl101 Ok,it's still on American Movie Classics,but they play more than TCM here.I tried it on the website with TCM and said search not found error,because they want the zip code of where you live to know the schedule.It' didn't show up so,obviously everyone's schedule is different in each state so.It's impossible to have all schedule the same for someones tv station,I mean that would be awkward if that happen before.Thanks for telling me your details about TCM.It's Interesting to know!
