LSC Weekly Schedule

LSC Events for Wednesday, February 11 through Tuesday, February 17

Friday, February 13 The Odd Couple (1968)
Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon), whose wife has just thrown him out of their house, seeks the home and help of his old buddy Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau), another divorced man, trying to enjoy his return to bachelorhood. The constant bickering and careful plotting employed by each man to drive the other out of his home and out of his mind is so well portrayed here that it spawned a popular television show, but the show pales in comparison to the clever acting and excellent dialogue employed in the movie.
