...thinks that giving customers the option of rejecting extras will help reduce funeral costs. The average price is about $2,400 and can go much higher. At the Ritter Funeral Home in Milwaukee, the prices range from $580 for a cardboard casket and transport for immediate burial to $6,995 for a full-service funeral with the top-of-the-line bronze casket...

Using new historical sources for the true story behind the mutiny, the filmmakers tried to flesh out the relationship between Bligh and Christian and make it clear that their motivations and personalities are much more complex than the cardboard characters in the originals.

"I feel sensational and really a little sentimental," said Colbert, who looked both. Indeed, it was hard to say which of her selves was lovelier as she delightedly encountered a cardboard cutout from her film Cleopatra, which she made at 29. Now 78, she is still working. This week she starts rehearsals in London with Rex Harrison, 76, for a West End revival of the 1923 comedy Aren...
