Undertaking Betty

Undertaking Betty (2002) is Nick Hurran's romantic comedy, and you can watch online on iFILM. In a sleepy Welsh town, undertaker Boris has quietly loved Betty — the wife of a local politician — for some thirty years, never saying a word.

Once those feelings finally surface, the two cook up a reckless scheme: fake Betty's death so they can vanish together and start over somewhere new. The snag is Frank, a rival funeral director down the road who stages elaborate themed send-offs, treating every burial like a movie set. Brenda Blethyn and Alfred Molina play the would-be lovers, Christopher Walken hams it up as the showman of the casket trade, and Naomi Watts stirs the pot.

The film mixes graveside gallows humor with real tenderness, arguing that a fresh start can begin in the unlikeliest place. Walken alone, gleefully reinventing the funeral, is worth the ticket. Stream Undertaking Betty (2002) online on iFILM.
