The Loved One
(1965)An all-star cast pokes fun at Hollywood, Britain and the business of turning a profit from grief in the classic 1960s black comedy The Loved One. Innocent, serious British poet Dennis Barlow (Robert Morse--"Tru," How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) comes to Los Angeles to make final arrangements for a relative who was a longtime film star, but didn't leave enough money to pay for his funeral. Taking a job as an assistant embalmer at a pet cemetery, Barlow falls in love with beautiful funeral-home cosmetician Aimee Thanatogenous (Anjanette Comer), who is also the object of prissy funeral director Mr. Joyboy's (Academy Award winner Rod Steiger--In the Heat of the Night) affections.
