In a story that proves life can be stranger than fiction, Bernie is based on the true story of assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede (Black), one of the most beloved citizens of small rural town Carthage, Texas, who befriends widow Marjorie Nugent (MacLaine), the town's least popular citizen. When Marjorie disappears, things take a turn for the bizarre as the townspeople rally around Bernie when he is tried for her murder. Adapted from an article in Texas Monthly by famed true crime journalist Skip Hollandsworth. (Gary Reber)
