The funeraI business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedIy wacky, respIendentIy 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 fiIm’s only target: sex, greed, reIigion and mother Iove are aIso in the crosshairs of its satirical shots. Robert Morse pIays 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 Berle, James Coburn and Liberace. lf The Loved One doesn’t make you Iaugh, caII the undertaker! |
