The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedly wacky, respIendently 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 fiIm’s onIy target: sex, greed, reIigion and mother Iove are also in the crosshairs of its satirical shots. Robert Morse pIays a bemused wouId-be poet who gets entangled 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, Milton Berle, James Coburn and Liberace. lf The Loved One doesn’t make you laugh, call the undertaker! |
