The Owl and the Pussycat
It's no longer a story for children.
Directed by Herbert Ross
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A screwball romantic comedy about two mismatched neighbors whose antagonism gradually transforms into attraction through forced proximity and banter.
Meek, owlish Felix and strident, catty Doris live in the same apartment building. His incessant typing bothers her; her gentlemen callers bother him. Felix informs the landlord of her activities, so Doris moves in on Felix. When they both get thrown out, they move in with Barney... until they drive him out! That's when Felix and Doris finally decide to put theory into practice. But do opposites attract?
