Two funeral-crashers – a teenaged boy and an elderly woman (Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon, respectively, both utterly fabulous) – develop a deep relationship in this classic ‘70s comedy from Hal Ashby.

“An Elvis movie? Really?!” Yes, absolutely. It’s true that, as a rule, Elvis movies are terrible. Who’d argue with that?
