One of the funniest films of the 1960’s and one of the greatest television programs of all time will be discussed in this presentation. Attendees will discover how “The Odd Couple” began as a real life situation, became a play, a memorable film and then one of the greatest television series of all time. They will also learn how the casting came about for Broadway, the film and television. Some of the potential pairings will boggle the mind! You will also learn why the setting of the television show changed after the first season. An extremely funny premise, local theater productions of the play continue until today. After the Power Point presentation, attendees will screen film highlights and one of the classic Jack Klugman / Tony Randall television shows. This program includes a memorabilia, autograph and book display.
