Here is the list of movies for the month of June, it is Walter Matthau month. He is best known as half the team of the Neil Simon film The Odd Couple, playing the part of Oscar. First film is House Calls, 1978. It is about a widower-surgeon, looking for Miss Right. He is a surgeon who works in a hospital with a lot of Characters. Art Carney also stars in it, with Richard Benjamin.
Next up is Hopscotch, 1980. Starring Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson. It is a comedy about a CIA agent going rouge. He dislikes his boss and manages to foil each attempt to be captured, and determined to write his memoirs.
One funny story about Walter, when he was starring with Barbra Streisand in the film Hello Dolly, he did not get along with her. She, at the age of 24 was bossing everyone around including the director Gene Kelly. He would tease her and make little comments to her and about her. One day he went to the head of the studios and complained about her. Head of the production listened to him and then said the name of the film is Hello Dolly not Hello Walter. Get back to the set and your job!
I hope you have a wonderful month of June, and hope to see you all soon.
