HAROLD AND MAUDE

Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort, Cyril Cusack

Paramount Pictures; Directed by Hal Ashby

Rated PG; 91 minutes; 1971

When extremely wealthy Harold (Bud Cort) is not staging his own suicide, he’s crashing funerals. This morbid young man falls in love with fellow funeral-crasher, Maude (Ruth Gordon), a woman fifty years his senior whose lust for life surpasses his preoccupation with death in this unlikely romance. A darkly humorous cult classic.
