Simon’s classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the
apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no
wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been
separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems
suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his
mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with
hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.<br>
