Undertaking Betty (2006)


Undertaking BettyFred & Ginger
In Wales

Betty (Brenda Blethyn) doesn't yet know that her husband (Robert Pugh) is a philanderer with a bimbo girlfriend (Naomi Watts) when Boris (Alfred Molina), a Welsh mortician who abandoned a career as a dancer, decides he can no longer live without Betty, his true love since they were children.

Boris and Betty work out an exquisite plan to stage her death so they can secret away together to a tropical island to be with each other forever. But is the new American glitz and glamour mortician (Christopher Walken) going to throw a monkey wrench in their plan?

This is a tender little film in so many ways but with huge laughs and grins. Walken is a riot!

Just a delight to watch this one, folks. Directed by Nick Hurran.

Rated PG-13 for sexual content/humor.

In the UK, this film is called Plotz With a View.
