Inhalt: |
The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedly wacky, resplendently ridiculous farce based on Evelyn 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 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 played by such adept farceurs as John GieIgud, Robert Morley, Tab Hunter, MiIton BerIe, James Coburn and Liberace. If The Loved One doesn’t make you laugh, calI the undertaker! |
