What's not to like with Burt Lancaster and beautiful pretend movie family! It is the sweet sentiment that carries the story to the bittersweet end. An end in which someone's dying wish is actually allowed to happen, what more can you ask for in a modern script. The norseman's funeral is a noble end.

This movie was all about children watching the relationship their parents had with their father.It was the grandchildren who really had their ears tuned to their grandfather,and the fashion that he wished to leave this world.Not an ordinary funeral,and burial.Watch this movie,it will explain it all.Take a look at McCauley in 2003!I also enjoyed the music that the grandfather listened to through out the movie,it was very fitting and appropriate.Loved the Rocket Gibraltar!

I never forgot this movie. Funny, sad, family, love, sweet. Very memorable.
