Very funny, good cast
Often laugh out loud, sometimes sad story of 2 working divorced guys — Lemmon a neurotic clean “house husband” and Matthau a slob sportswriter — who decide to live together to cut down on expenses.Nicely photographed and directed. The script is very barbed — that is, there’s always more than one side to almost every line. Particularly funny scene involves 2 british sisters (Evans and Shelley) who seem amused by everything anyone says, but when Lemmon busts out his photos of kids and, yes, ex-wife-to-be, he has the girls sobbing along with him before Matthau can show up with the promised drinks!
Very entertaining.
