Description

The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedly wacky, resplendently ridiculous farce based on Evelyn Waugh's macabre comic masterpiece and directed with inspired verve by Tony Richardson (Tom Jones).

A lasting impression

This is one of My favorite films, if not My most favorite film!

If you enjoy British humor you'll laugh your ass off at the script.. And if you like American perky-goth sitcoms characters like the Addams Family and The Munsters you'll fall for all the other characters as well.

It left a lasting impact on Me from the 1st time I saw it as a child that stuck with Me till I finally found it on torrents and finally saw it again for the 1st time in over 15 years. In fact, I've watched it more than 5 more times since then!
