Clearing Sinuses - The Odd Couple (6/8) Movie CLIP (1968) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Felix (Jack Lemmon) uses a special technique to clean out his sinuses in a crowded restaurant while Oscar (Walter Matthau) looks on.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Compulsive neatnik Felix Unger (Jack Lemmon) is thrown out of his house by his divorce-bound wife. He wanders aimlessly through the streets of New York, toying with the idea of suicide, before gravitating to the apartment of his best friend, incorrigibly sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau). Worried that Felix will try something desperate, Oscar, himself in the process of being divorced by his wife, invites Felix to move in with him. Within a few days, this mismatched pair is on the verge of mutual murder: Felix cannot abide Oscar's slovenliness, while Oscar is driven insane by Felix's obsession with cleanliness. A potentially passionate evening with Oscar's neighbors, the "coo-coo" Pigeon sisters (Monica Evans and Carole Shelley) is ruined when Felix, ruminating over his wife and children, reduces the two ladies to remorseful tears. Pushed to the brink, Oscar stalks around the apartment making as big a mess as possible. Comes the next week's poker game, and the previously vengeful Oscar is worried that Felix might have attempted to do away with himself again. Instead, a surprisingly self-confident Felix shows up to collect his belongings, then announces that he's temporarily moving upstairs with the toothsome Pigeon sisters! There's a laugh a second in this faithful movie adaptation of Neil Simon's hit Broadway play. A foolproof comic situation (allegedly based on a chapter in the life of Simon's brother Danny) is kept alive and healthy by some of the funniest dialogue ever written. The Odd Couple was later adapted into a long-running TV sitcom starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.

Saw this in 1968 when I was eight years old while on vacation in Saranac Lake, New York. My father laughed so hard he cried! Every time I miss my dad I watch this and smile.

[aaronzook]

A comic masterpiece. Tears are rolling down my face.

[markhagen]

My parents took me to see this movie when I was 10, lake theater, lake Oswego or. An old man laughed so hard, an emergency call had to be made to revive him. He made it. Good times.

[MrAngleman]

The expression on Walter Mathau's face is priceless.

[jaygee]

Lemmon & Matthau in one of most hilarious scenes ever. What a two-some!

[tonyginnetti]

What a classic hysterical scene. Watching Matthau's expression at :43 is amazingly funny! Genuine humor without being "stagy" and no profanity, sexual connotations, racial blurbs or anything else today's so-called comics feel they need to be funny.

[tarijordan]

About had a stroke laughing at this at a stoplight today. I was driving but my son (passenger) called it up on my phone and after all this time it's STILL so hilarious to me. Haven't laughed this hard in months. Thanks Jack and Walter.

[eljeffe]

Crying/laughing/on the floor/hysterical! Seen it 100 times and funnier than the first time I saw it. "I think I strained my throat."

Now you know why living together destroys friendships.

[helenmcgirr]

This doesn't age with time, what great actors .I remember watching this when i was really young with my family and we've never laughed so much, I don't know how they managed to keep staight faces whilst making the film.
