An all time classic, saw this film over 30 years ago & it still holds its attraction for me, great actors & sense of humour, Steiger a brilliant character, MOM just steals the show; what a Woman, so funny.
This is so disgusting…but in a hilarious way. I've always hated roasted suckling pig, by the way. These look creepy to me. Rod Steiger is in one of his wackiest disguises ever…blonde perm, effeminate (and much too small) kitchen apron…or working out naked except for a tanga slip…
Who doesn't love Mrs. Joyboy, with her HUGE appetite for life! She's even sort of sexy in a gargatuan sort of way. Love who she REALLY REALLY enjoys her food. And where can I buy some "King Chicken" and 'Big Boy Crap"? Watching this certainly cllip makes me hungry....excuse me while I go feed my face....
the first scene in the funeral parlour/mansion where the blond uk guy goes to have his uncle's -gielgud- funeral arranged, is pure gothic humour. MORE!
Once seen---Mrs. Joyboy can never forgotten! Take a look at Billy Pilgrim's mother in "Slaughterhouse Five" for another Oscar-worthy performance by Lucille Benson.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!!!! I've been wanting to see this again for years. One of the funniest scenes in any movie. Deeply disturbing too.
Rod Steiger was brilliant in this film - watch him here and then " In the Heat of the Night" - what an actor. This film is just a hoot !!!!!

If anyone has trouble buffering in any video, I'd say the technology is still primitive.

1965 might have been Rod Steiger's best year. Look it up. Two years before he actually won an Oscar.

My father took us to see this at an "underground" theater in 1972, and I haven't been the same since!

Not quite sure what you mean by Lucille Benson -- she is not in The Loved One. Mrs Joyboy here is Ayllene Gibbons.
