American Cinematheque presents a screening of The Loved One at the Egyptian Theatre. Billed as "the motion picture with something to offend everyone," this achingly funny, pitch-black comedy could only have been released in the anything-goes era of the 1960s. Writer Evelyn Waugh's spot-on satire of the Southern California funeral business is brought to the screen by director Tony Richardson (Tom Jones) with a screenplay by Terry Southern and Christopher Isherwood. Robert Morse, a British youth visiting his uncle (John Gielgud) in Los Angeles, encounters the weird world of Tinseltown's mortuary subculture, embodied by twins Henry and Reverend Wilbur Glenworthy (played by Jonathan Winters in a dual role), embalmer Mr. Joyboy (Rod Steiger) and his beautiful apprentice, Aimee Thanatogenous (Anjanette Comer). Liberace, Paul Williams and Dana Andrews also make appearances. Actors Jonathan Winters and Robert Morse and cinematographer Haskell Wexler will be on hand for a post-screening discussion.

The event was sold out and was the first time I have been able to see this movie in a theatre. It was too bad Jonathan Winters could not make it to the screening, but it was explained before the movie was shown. These things happen. Also, there were many signs posted on the front doors stating Mr. Winters would not be attending. However, there was a nice discussion after the showing with the leads Robert Morse and Anjanette Comer, and producer and cinematographer Haskell Wexler (it was his 90th birthday and the audience sang Happy Birthday). It was great to hear the audience reaction during the movie and hear interesting details about the filming of the movie.

The American Cinematheque at the Egyptian always hosts great events and this was no exception. "The Loved One" is a brilliant black comedy that needs to be seen more.
Goldstar, on the other hand, messed up completely! My name was not on their list and so I had to buy tickets from the box office. The event was sold out and if I had not gotten there 45 minutes early we would not have been able to see the show at all.
