“‘We are all out of cornflakes – F.U.’ It took me three hours to figure out that F.U. was Felix Ungar,” kvetches sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison of the little pillow notes left by his anal-retentive roommate. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau give tour de force comic performances as the classic Neil Simon characters.
