HAROLD AND MAUDE (1972)

Harold is a spoiled, rich 20-something boy filled with typical aristocratic ennui.  With an eclectic penchant for funerals, Harold spends his days living out macabre fantasies, including trying to commit suicide in front of his mother and his three potential wives.  Upon meeting the intriguing Maude, however, Harold’s life forever changes.  A 79 year-old woman with a zest for life, Maude shows Harold al there is to love about life, including her.  This unique couple will forever challenge onscreen romance as Hollywood has come to define it!

The cast includes: Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, Vivian Pickles, Cyril Cusack, Charles Tyner, and Ellen Geer.

Director Hal Ashby's "Harold and Maude" is a classic, black comedy about love, life, and death.
