The Odd Couple (film)
''The Odd Couple'' is a 1968 American comedy film directed by Gene Saks, produced by Howard W. Koch and written by Neil Simon, based on his 1965 play. It stars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau as two divorced men—neurotic neat-freak Felix Ungar and fun-loving slob Oscar Madison—who decide to live together. The film was successful with critics and grossed more than $44.5 million, making it the third highest-grossing film of 1968 in the United States. The success of the film was the basis for ABC to produce a popular sitcom series starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman as Felix and Oscar. Almost three decades later, a sequel—''The Odd Couple II'', in which Lemmon and Matthau reprised their roles—was released, but it was a critical and commercial failure. Plot Newly separated Felix Ungar wanders Manhattan in a daze, with thoughts of dying by suicide. Divorced sportswriter Oscar Madison and his poker playing cronies Murray, Speed, Roy and Vinnie have assembled in Madi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Retail Companies Disestablished In 1977
Retail is the sale of goods and services to consumers, in contrast to wholesaling, which is the sale to business or institutional customers. A retailer purchases goods in large quantities from manufacturers, directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells in smaller quantities to consumers for a profit. Retailers are the final link in the supply chain from producers to consumers. Retail markets and shops have a long history, dating back to antiquity. Some of the earliest retailers were itinerant peddlers. Over the centuries, retail shops were transformed from little more than "rude booths" to the sophisticated shopping malls of the modern era. In the digital age, an increasing number of retailers are seeking to reach broader markets by selling through multiple channels, including both bricks and mortar and online retailing. Digital technologies are also affecting the way that consumers pay for goods and services. Retailing support services may also include the provision of cr ...
