The Out-of-Towners
The best-known Lemmon-Matthau film is "The Odd Couple" (1968), based on the Neil Simon play, with the lead characters being the mismatched Felix Unger (Lemmon) and Oscar Madison (Matthau), respectively neurotical and cynical. The much-admired comedy "Kotch" (1971), the only film Lemmon directed, starred Matthau, who was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar. "The Out-of-Towners" (1970) was another Neil Simon-scripted film in which Lemmon appeared.
