He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved and appreciated Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent, an affluent widow who was as well known for her sour attitude as her fortune. Bernie frequently traveled with Marjorie and even managed her banking affairs. Marjorie quickly became fully dependent on Bernie and his generosity and Bernie struggled to meet her increasing demands. Bernie continued to handle her affairs,a nd the townspeople went months without seeing Marjorie.The people of Carthage were shocked when it was reported that Marjorie Nugent had been dead for some time, and Bernie Tiede was charged with the murder."--Container.

  • "Nichts bleibt unbemerkt in dem texanischen 7000-Seelen-Dorf Carthage. Nichts. Auch nicht die Ankunft von Bernie Tiede, ein liebenswerter, sympathischer, immer zuvorkommender Kerl, der das örtliche Bestattungsunternehmen übernimmt. So lernt er auch die reiche Marjorie Nelson kennen, die gerade ihren Ehemann verloren hat und in dem wenig beneidenswerten Ruf steht, die verhassteste Frau des ganzen Städtchen zu sein. Für Bernie ist es allerdings Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Zur Verwunderung des ganzen Dorfes macht der junge Mann der alten Vettel den Hof. Als Marjorie Bernie allerdings zu sehr auf die Pelle rückt, reagiert er mit einer Wahnsinnstat. Von der das Dorf niemals etwas erfahren darf."
  • "An assistant funeral director's relationship with an elderly widow leads to tragic consequences in this black comedy directed by Richard Linklater. Based on real events in the small Texan town of Carthage in the 1990s, the film tells the story of well-liked local mortician Bernie Tiede (Jack Black), who befriends sour-faced widow Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), whose wealth is only matched by how much she's reviled by the townsfolk. As their relationship deepens, the pair quickly become inseparable. But as Marjorie begins to become increasingly dependent on Bernie, he soon finds his kindness repaid by her constant possessiveness and abusive behaviour. With Bernie stretched to breaking point, Marjorie's prolonged and unexplained absence from public view quickly leads to tongue's wagging, and the suspicions of local district attorney Danny Buck (Matthew McConaughey)."
