Misfire spoof on LA's funeral industry, American greed and Brits in Hollywood.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A suicidal comedy embalmed in its own sick jokes...

Maclean's Magazine
It is hard to understand how a witty, tightly organized extravaganza like the Waugh novel... could have resulted in such a queasy, humorless, formless botch.

its humors are unorganized and it can easily seem desperate and dumb

...it tries to cover too much ground with too much material that is simply too obvious and too unfunny.

A wonderfully, witty satire, with Steiger's performance a riot.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The funeral business gets a giant raspberry in this wickedly wacky, resplendently ridiculous farce based on Evelyn Waugh's macabre comic masterpiece. 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 its 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.
