| "The Loved One is not only satire at its most ferocious. It is a macabre frolic filled with laughter and ingenious devices. It is devilishly clever, impishly amusing." - The New York Times, 1948. A sad irony of life: People pay thousands to bury a relative they hate, but balk at paying ten bucks to cremate the dog who stood by them for a decade. Recently kicked out of Hollywood, Dennis takes an ignominious—nay—shamefully vulgar job, tending the dead. More than his reputation hangs in the balance if his snobby British ex-pat community discover his secret. A biting cultural satire that juxtaposes the shallowness of façade with the deep, long-lasting consequences of reputation.
