1968: The Odd Couple

It's photographed a bit blandly, but apart from that there's absolutely nothing wrong with this always entertaining and occasionally funny Lemmon-Matthau vehicle. Extra super: the Pigeon sisters. (7)

This is another of the films I saw recently that are based on plays; they hardly ever do that anymore, do they? Instead, every other American film nowadays appears to be based on a comic. All in all, I think I prefer the former.
