But the American way of death isn't the film's only target: sex, greed, religion and mother love are also in the crosshairs of it's satirical shots. Robert Morse plays a bemused would-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 Gielgud, Robert Morley, Tab Hunter, Milton Berle, James Coburn and Liberace. If the Loved One doesn't make you laugh, call the undertaker!
