The Loved One
1965 · Movie · 116 min. · United States
A clash of cultures is under way when a young British poet must come to California to preside over the burial of his Hollywood star uncle. He encounters a tawdry mortuary business in this wildly black and strange comedy based on Evelyn Waugh's 1948 novel. Watch for a child Paul Williams as the wunderkind rocket scientist.
