The Odd Couple

Inveterate divorced slob Oscar Madison opens his home to neurasthenic and obsessively-compulsive clean Felix Ungar, who has just been thrown out of his house by his wife. This Odd Couple's incompatibility becomes soon apparent when Felix' cleaning ways drive away Oscar's poker buddies and his grief over his divorce turns a possibly romantic evening with two floozies into a wake.

In a bit of type casting, I got the juicy role of Oscar, but Chaim Rosemarin's hilarious rendition of an aggressively domestic Felix topped even Jack Lemon's performance of the role in the film version of The Odd Couple.
