...have some fries with this one? The gratuitous sequel introduces a new and unfortunate cinema franchise: McNeil Simon's. Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon '47 reprise their classic roles as messy Oscar Madison and natty Felix Ungar in the sequel to Simon's comedy classic, but the result is as flat as a Quarter Pounder without the cheese.

Carly Simon's album "Film Noir," a tribute to music from the 1940's, boasts an elaborate official homepage, complete with commentary from Billboard magazine.
