Playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon died last month at the age of 91, and with August being the time for Summer Under the Stars, TCM was never going to get around to a tribute until September. That tribute is tonight, and consists of three movies so that the TCM Underground block will still be there:
The Odd Couple at 8:00 PM, probably Simon's best known work;
The Goodbye Girl at 10:00 PM, earning its star Richard Dreyfuss a Best Actor Oscar; and
Lost in Yonkers at midnight.
The movie I would like ot have seen was Barefoot in the Park, but TCM apparently don't have the rights to that one right now. For some reason, I thought I saw it on one of the Starz/Encore channels, but when I did a schedule search for it, it's nowhere to be seen. And apparently it's out of print on DVD, since the TCM Shop only has it on backorder.
