THE LOVED ONE with Robert Morse In Person
THE LOVED ONE
1965, Warner Bros., 121 min, USA, Dir: Tony Richardson
Marketed as "the motion picture with something to offend everyone!" this achingly funny, pitch-black comedy could only have been released in the anything-goes era of the 1960s. Judged unfilmable for more than a decade (Luis Buñuel was trying to set it up for years), writer Evelyn Waugh's spot-on satire of Southern California - specifically the funeral business finally was brought to the screen in the mid-'60s by director Tony Richardson (TOM JONES) with a screenplay by Terry Southern (CANDY, EASY RIDER) and Christopher Isherwood (!). Robert Morse (Bert Cooper in "Mad Men") plays a British youth visiting his uncle (John Gielgud) in Los Angeles who encounters the weird world of Tinseltown's mortuary subculture, embodied by twins Henry and Reverend Wilbur Glenworthy (Jonathan Winters in a dual role), embalmer Mr. Joyboy (Rod Steiger) and his beautiful apprentice, Aimee Thanatogenous (Anjanette Comer). With Liberace, Paul Williams, Dana Andrews.
Screening format: 35mm
