Synopsis: A classic cult film that features one of the screen’s most unlikely pairs. It will defy everything you’ve ever seen or known about screen lovers. Bud Cort is Harold, a young man bored with wealth but interested in death. And Ruth Gordon is Maude, a wonderful old rascal who can see nothing but good intentions in the world. Hal Ashby (Coming Home, Being There) directed from Colin Higgin’s (Foul Play) first script. An outrageously funny and affecting film that proves love has no boundaries. Cat Stevens provides an uplifting musical score.

Harold and Maude 8.5

Life-affirming, quirky and amusing. Refreshing. Overcomes the over-the-top performances. Could have been a masterpiece if not for the low-budget and uneven direction (which no doubt hobbled the performances).
