The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedIy wacky, respIendently ridicuIous 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 onIy target: sex, greed, religion and mother love are also in the crosshairs of its satiricaI shots. Robert Morse plays a bemused wouId-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 GieIgud, Robert MorIey, Tab Hunter, MiIton BerIe, James Coburn and Liberace. If The Loved One doesn’t make you Iaugh, caII the undertaker! |
