HAROLD AND MAUDE
United States | 1971 | BD | 91 minutes | Color | English
Director: Hal Ashby
Cast: Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort, Vivian Pickles, Cyril Cusack, Charles Tyner, Ellen Geer, Eric Christmas, G. Wood, Judy Engles, Shari Summers, Tom Skerritt, Susan Madigan, Ray Goman, Gordon Devol, Harvey Brumfield, Henry Dieckoff, Philip Schultz, Sonia Sorrell
With the idiosyncratic American fable HAROLD AND MAUDE, countercultural director Hal Ashby fashioned what would become one of cinema’s most beloved comedies. Working from a script by Colin Higgins, Ashby tells the story of the emotional and romantic bond between a death-obsessed young man from a wealthy family (Bud Cort) and a devil-may-care bohemian sixty years his senior (Ruth Gordon). Equal parts gallows humor and beguiling sincerity, HAROLD AND MAUDE dissolves the line between darkness and light—along with those that separate people by class, gender, and age—and features indelible performances and a remarkable soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
