Another fun episode of "The Odd Couple," where Felix (at the prompting of Murray the Cop) makes a documentary about Oscar, then unknowingly accepts an offer to direct a porno film.
Murray actually has a good moment when he tells Felix off. As they both watch a documentary, Felix complains about the directing, which sets off Murray who leaves in a huff, and who challenges Felix to do better since he says he can.
Felix decides to do a film about Oscar, but it's really just home movies, like Danny and Keith Partridge did in the episode of "The Partridge Family" where they decided to be film makers, and filmed the family.
The fun really starts when Felix accepts an offer from a friend of Oscars to do a film (starring Oscar), not knowing it's a porno film.
They set up the porno shoot in the apartment, and Oscar is quite happy rehearsing with the star of the movie, a very gorgeous woman, actress Doria Cook-Nelson. Oscar finally realizes he's about to star in a porno film with Felix directing, and puts a stop to the whole thing.
What's kind of odd about Oscar's revulsion to the very idea of a porno film. He even describes porno films as "the smut you see on 42nd Street." Now, that's true, but in this very same episode, we see Oscar walk into a topless bar, and even in the show's former intro during the credit titles, we see Oscar peek into one (with the cop watching). So Oscar's sudden moralizing about "smut" seems a bit off.
Overall another funny Odd Couple episode of so many.
