Harold and Maude (1971) directed by Hal Ashby, starring Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort
Veteran actress-screenwriter-playwright Ruth Gordon enjoyed a major film career renaissance following her Oscar-winning devilish turn in Rosemary's Baby in 1968. In Harold and Maude, the 75-year-old Gordon had her first starring role in a motion picture. Her offbeat performance as the free-spirited Maude helped turn this quirky, anti-establishment comedy into one of the major cult films of the 1970s. Bud Cort (Brewster McCloud) plays Harold, the death-obsessed young man who learns to appreciate life with Maude's help. With the perfect black-humorous touch, Hal Ashby directed Colin Higgins's poignantly funny screenplay.
