Well, the description on this thing sure didn't sell me, but OLYMPIA DUKAKIS ! I've never NOT liked a movie with OLYMPIA D! (gotta see her in Moonstruck, Steel Magnolias, and of course, Tales of the City). This one also has Danny Aiello, also from Moonstruck. Cemetery opens with a senior citizen couple getting married, and the crowd is telling old jokes. You can tell they are all good longtime friends, Happy Times. Speaking of Moonstruck, the cute little old couple that ran the Italian deli is in here too, as well as the "inconceivable" guy. But suddenly, people are croaking! that took a quick turn for the dark side. Lots of old Jewish jokes. some funny stuff. swearing, laughs, arguments. Ellen Burstyn seems to get top billing, but is pretty low key in this. Anyone familiar with Jewish traditions, passive aggressive behavior, or just spending time in manhattan will appreciate the humor here. some funny stuff! Love Olympia - she totally saves this, with her dry sarcastic wit. Never heard anything about this back in 1993, but it IS on DVD. Directed by Bill Duke, who directed a TON of TV in the 1980s, then started directing films in the 1990s.
Written by Ivan Menchell, as a play. Not much info available on him. Has done a lot of TV. Quite Good. I've never seen this on TV, so you'll probably have to find it on DVD, but it IS pretty good. I'll have to see it again, since i'm sure i've missed many references watching it the first time.

After 39 years of marriage, still-attractive music store owner Ellen Burstyn (as Esther Moskowitz) loses her husband to a heart attack. While paying her respects, Ms. Burstyn meets cop-turned-cab-driver Danny Aiello (as Benjamin "Ben" Katz ) in the Pittsburgh cemetery where their loved ones rest in peace. Burstyn and her friends have formed "The Cemetery Club" to mourn their dead husbands; the more traditionally inclined Olympia Dukakis (as Doris Silverman) masters the widow role, but Diane Ladd (as Lucille Rubin) seeks greener pastures. Inactive club member Lainie Kazan (as Selma) is most eager to dig up an new husband. Tired of her cemetery visits, Ms. Ladd shouts, "I refuse to be in a club where half the members are dead!" One of the film's consistently least affected performers, Burstyn wavers along the spectrum.

This is a "baby boomer" flick, I totally enjoyed it and thought that the story line was excellent and all the actors were fabulous. The younger generation would not understand the meaning or the humor. This is an all star cast of baby boomer's or older and I think they should be commended for their stellar acting. Ellen Burstyn is beautiful and gave a wonderful performance as usual. Diane Ladd is funny and beautiful. Olympia Dukakis is perfect for the part she played. Lainie Kazan is so funny with all her marriages living her life to the fullest. Everyone should have a group of friends that love and support each other through all of life's ups and downs.
One would think that if you're going to make a movie about 3 widowed friends, you'd either want to make it serious and somber or hysterically funny. Unfortunately, The Cemetery Club is neither and it exists in some weird in between place where you keep waiting to move or laugh.
Obviously inspired by female centered tear jerkers like Terms of Endearment or Steel Magnolias, The Cemetery Club never quite achieves take off and is never funny or moving enough to be memorable like those other films.
You can't say the cast isn't great though. With Ellen Burstyn, Diane Ladd, and Olympia Dukakis, The Cemetery Club should be a lot better than it is and it lets down these fine women at every turn. Burstyn probably fares the best as she's given the most to do and it least gets one good scene where she talks about her dead husband on a date with a potential suitor (Danny Aiello).

Breezy look at a group of elderly widowed friends in Pittsburgh, and whether or not their friendship will survive once one of them hooks up with a guy. "The Cemetery Club" is nothing special. Lighthearted without being mushy, the movie is the type that you'll probably only be interested in seeing once; while enjoyable, it's not enough to merit a second watch. Plenty of good performances, though; have Ellen Burstyn, Diane Ladd, Olympia Dukakis and Danny Aiello not turned in great performances?
Watch for a young Christina Ricci as the granddaughter.
