The young Harold lives in his own world of suicide-attempts and funeral visits to avoid the misery of his current family and home environment. Harold meets an 80-year-old woman named Maude who also lives in her own world yet one in which she is having the time of her life. When the two opposites meet they realize that their differences don’t matter and they become best friends and love each other. Featuring a killer soundtrack by Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens). Initially a box-office bomb, this enduring cult classic has been added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and is listed in AFI’s top 100 Funniest Movies of All-Time.

“In 1971, HAROLD AND MAUDE was a box-office disaster. In 1983, it is, at last, a profitable movie. Twelve years later, profit checks have been sent to HAROLD AND MAUDE’s director, Hal Ashby; its author, Colin Higgins; and its star, Ruth Gordon. Ruth Gordon almost threw her $50,000 check away. ‘I thought it was one of those sweepstakes from the Reader's Digest,’ she said.” —Aljean Harmetz, New York Times (1983)

“Today, HAROLD AND MAUDE continues to resonate with viewers of all ages who feel a natural kinship with misfits and oddballs, and many claim it has changed their lives forever.” —Pat Saperstein, Variety
