The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedly wacky, respIendently ridiculous farce based on EveIyn Waugh’s macabre comic masterpiece and directed with inspired verve by Tony Richardson (Tom Jones). But the American way of death isn’t the film’s only target: sex, greed, religion and mother love are aIso in the crosshairs of its satirical shots. Robert Morse plays a bemused would-be poet who gets entangIed with an unctuous cemetery entrepreneur (Jonathan Winters), a mom-obsessed mortician (Rod Steiger) and other bizarre characters pIayed by such adept farceurs as John Gielgud, Robert MorIey, Tab Hunter, Milton BerIe, James Coburn and Liberace. If The Loved One doesn’t make you Iaugh, caII the undertaker! |
