@theycallmemagic from the harold and maude home page dot com: "And even more trivia from Nicole: The freeze frame of the Jaguar hearse in midair in the final sequence is the result of an accident. The single camera capturing the action did not start filming until well after the car had careened off the cliff, and since only one hearse had been prepared for the film, it was impossible to reshoot the shot."
@theycallmemagic continued from the same source: "The reason the car stops mid-frame at the end of the movie, going over the cliff? All cameras except for one froze up at that time, so only the one was left running. They had to use that shot, because they didn't have another ccar. My husband worked with Colin Higgins' cousin at the time of the making of "Foul Play." My husband also knew one of the men who put together the hearse/jag -- an old family friend. Deborah Peeples"
@IdaGno Very cool! I read in Ruths book she and Bud Cort really were in love. The scene where she throws his ring into the lake wasn't in the script! she did it!
I watched this movie and I was nearly weeping when this part was playing. You know a film's good when it makes you feel emotions you don't normally experience.
trouble is a distraction, but will either strengthen or weaken you... so.. just maybe it's best to listen and heed those who've been through it. True, no two people are exactly alike, but perseverance shows no partiality.
I love the honesty of the car crash, no fancy Hollywood explosion, just death. Plain and ugly, like it is in the real world. Like it is for Harold. But the acceptance and recovery by Harold fills me with joy. The knowledge that life goes on, and the willingness to go out and live despite the hardships.
As mark Twain said of his wife she was woman and girl until the end. Maude had youth till the end of her life, she didn't hold on too tightly which freed her from the trap that many fall victim to. What a film and a song! Scoffers be damned,
Ahhh Bisto! I didn't miss the point of the movie I just felt the lyrics of the song weren't properly adhered to by the movie's ending. Had it ended without the banjo playing at the end and in a far darker, broken way it would have been much better. Even silence at the end would have been so much more meaningful than what actually happened, but then each to his own and this is just what I think is better.
@flourish66 I dissent. I think The playing of the banjo symbolized Harold's birth. If your remember the scene when Harold tried to put his head through the wooden vagina, you'll understand that it wasn't time for him to be reborn until Maude died. The point of the movie is Harold's rebirth. He actually understood that Maude's death had set him free and he loved Maude enough to live life for her sake.
The ending to the film H&M was very disappointing and it would have been so much better to end with a dramatic finale as shown in this clip and then they could have played out the titles to Cat Stevens 'Trouble' song? Maybe it's time for a remake with a decent and troubled ending?
@flourish66 "it would have been so much better to end with a dramatic finale as shown in this clip"
The clip at the end of this movie is the original ending in Harold and Maude. I thought it was a perfect ending. She taught him to live, what more of a finale could you ask for?
Great Movie.Maude lived life the way she wanted to and now she,s done and its time to move on to the next phase.She felt after 80 whats the point of waiting to die,she did it her way.
@musicmovie240 because we fluxuate between conservative and progressive eras... in the 1950's you would never see a taboo subject like this in the films, then we saw a big up roar of peace, love, and the progressive movement... ronald reagan started the new conservative era by decreaseing the richs taxes from 91% to 48%... bush lowered it even more... now obama is lowering taxes for regular people, and bringing the rich tax rate back up to 48%... i think good days are ahead :)
Cat Stevens was a symbol of freedom for me... I don't understand what he did... This song is amazing, this movie brilliant! I like the sound track, the story, the goal, this movie is a MUST see.
Thank you to whoever posted this. i believe Cat Stevens never released the soundtrack for many years - as he wanted people to have to see the movie to hear the music. understandably. as a side note - when the infamous Bruce Lee's son Brendon came to visit me (he dated one of my friends) in San Francisco in 1989, we toured the sites where the movie was filmed - in his 1959 Black Hearst. Harold and Maude, until his most tragic death while filming The Crowe - was also his favorite movie.
You must be able to grasp the wry wit to understand this movie, it's by far one of the greatest comedies that Hollywood didn't get either until years later. Watch the very end where Bud Cort (Cat Stevens) sings "If You Want to Sing out" It sort of displays the carefree attitude that went into the making of this flick.
Freaking cried like someone ran over my cat when I saw this movie. Beautiful. I am actually wearing an amazing shirt with Maude driving a scooter and it says Harold et Maude on it... someone made it... or something. Anyway beautiful.
Wow, I don't know if I can even watch this scene, when I first saw this movie (which is one of my favorites of all time), I started getting teary-eyed, but right when that song started playing I was bawling!
The best movie ever made, and this song is so fitting... Many of the songs especially written for this movie (like this one) can now be found on albums, but it took a long time for Yusef to come out with them.
Harold & Maude! is The Most Amazing Movie In The World! :)It Was Just The Best, But it Always MAkes Me Cry! & I Never Cry At Movies! Maude Is Funny, Harold Is Just, Is A Crazy Boy... There Both Amazing.
philosophical brilliance-beauty transcending...illuminating the beauty and pain of simply being alive, with and without love-hate; youth and aged; the Ideal spiritual condition=to forge into one, youth and aged; Harold and Maude; to accept so as to Be.
Be who you want to be in life, don't care about what other people want out of you. I love how they used "if you want to sing out, sing out" by Cat Stevens to reinforce the message of the movie.
Why do social taboos matter? we only have one shot at life, do what makes you happy, love who you want to love, even if it is an older woman and if you upset the local priest while doing it, all the more fun!
There's a million things to be, you know that there are.
the part when Cat sings "I dont want no more of you" "I've seen your eyes" makes me miss something and it makes me feel like im going to burst. like crying. I can feel it in my throat. I lovey this movie and song
Regardless, it was a beautiful, creative low budget movie, very underrated, and really fun to watch. This final scene, as a kid, really floored me, and the message at the end, of him plucking away at his banjo, really warmed my heart. The music, at the time, was ground breaking in terms of it driving the movie forward, it was so powerful at the time. I really loved this movie.
This was such a well made movie, with such a liberal and anti American blatant message. When I saw it at 18 years old, I was so affected by it, and bought in to the messages it was selling. Anti religion, anti "war", anti police, anti American. Thankfully I grew out of that unrealistic idealism. The messages are well intentioned, but not effective in the real world. Thats not being pessimistic , it's just what I've come to believe, base on my experiences in the world.
WHAT? Umm, the movie was in no way anti-american, anti-religion, or anti-anything. It was about how a young man obsessed with death became friends with, learned from, and fell in love with an old woman thrilled with life.
oh my word...a jaguar e-type hurst driving off a cliff face with cat stevens trouble playing in the back ground. that is the only way to go as far as i'm concerned.
I totally agree. I just saw the movie for the first time about 2 months ago, and I've seen it 4 times. It is my new all time favorite. Before that it was "Somewhere in Time". Cat Stevens music is icing on the cake!
One of the best movies ever! The actors, the soundtrack...just perfect. It made me cry and lough quite a few times. There's too much shit comming out today...
This movie transformed my life when I first saw it. :)
I think it was all the perspectives he was recieving.... from the doctor, the priest, his mother, etc. and all he really needed was a positive-minded old lady who truely listened to him to make him feel alive again. Wouldn't be great if we were all like that?
totally agree. harold and maude is one of those great movies. i think the message of the film and song on hatred and war are totally different from what people have to say here. i really enjoy both.
Hey californiaboy1000, I would love to see your facts on that. Or are you just going off what the media tells you? Hey, so you must also believe there is a sea crearture in Lock Ness
Yes, it's true. Cat / Yusuf donated tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas and Hezbolah, cash used for weapons, traced by Interpol. Cat also performed for fundraisers for these groups.
these groups also do a huge amount of charity work in the middle east and are two of the few organizations able(or willing) to do so do to cultural and conflict-based restraints
You should be aware that Cat / Yusuf supports terrorism..
Cat betrayed the world when he performed at HAMAS fund-raisers (disguised as Islamic Charities - money traced to Al Qaida) ,
Cat openly and ON-FILM agreed with Iran's "fatwa" by to kill an author of a book, (Salman Rushdie), and Yusuf has donated tens of thousands of his own cash to HAMAS charities ( the money traced to weapons ). This is even more betraying , because Cat previously wrote "Peace Train" ! (B4 he converted ) - Allah akbar.

rokker007-it's views like yours that contribute to the current instability of the world. Having taken a look at your 'favourited' videos, i can see which side of the fence you stand on... It's a shame the US has (in the past) acted like the worlds biggest terrorist organisation - Leaving acknowledged destruction in it's wake, for others to pick up the pieces and many innocent's dead! This I'm sure will now start to change... It's unsubstantiated views such as yours that take longer to change.
Cat / Yusuf agreed with Iran's fatwa to kill Rushdie ON FILM and you call it "unsubstantiated" ? You're not too bright, Nick. And the FBI looked into Yusuf's donations to Hamas and put Yusuf on the "Do-Not-Fly List". And Nick "Einstein" calls it unsubstantiated! Dunbass.
Actually you are providing false information. Yusuf Islam commented on why the Fatwa was made and the reasoning behind it, however he later pointed out to news papers and other media outlets that he was merely explaining why they may have come the Ayetolla Khomaini may have come to that conclusion not supporting it. The whole things was blown way out of proportion by the British press. Another attempt to slander Islam.
As far as supporting Hammas, he spends all kinds of time and money supporting charity organizations for those less fortunate all over the world. If there was a charity which he donated to that did have links to Hammas he never did so willingly. He even stated that "The first time this accusation came up," he said, "I didn't even know what this organization was Nobody I've ever met has said, 'I'm from Hamas.' ". The American government under the bush era were the real terrorists here..
You are gullible and mistaken. Cat was on the FBI's Do Not Fly List because he repeatedly donated cash and even performed for "fundraisers" for phony charities linked to Al Qaida. You are naive to believe Cat's story. Yusuf spoke strongly in favor of Iran's fatwa to kill an author - ON FILM. Only an idiot would dispute that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
All these "facts" r at least 4 y/o
No money cat donated has EVER been traced to any terrorist extremist or violent group.
The fatwa was LITERALLY a circumstance of an intentionally wrong translation for bad publicity.
The no fly list incident was a mistaken identity case and he was let on board after several hours in waiting, and has never been obstructed from a flight since.
I can only hope you can see the errors of your hateful ways before the day you are judged as harshly as you judge others
MadHater , you are wrong. Cash Yusuf donated WAS traced to Hamas weapons by Interpol. The FBI didn't let Cat fly for YEARS, they only recently took him off the Do-Not-Fly List. And Cat said "He must be killed" when asked about Rushdie , ON FILM. MadHater, you are a dumbass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol you are literally making this up as you go!
iv seen what you do, go and copy/paste the same message on different cat stevens videos and come up with a false situation whenever it suites you.
your simply crying out for attention.
Please dont acknowledge the lies this idiot makes up to cause trouble, he jst wants to get a rise out of someone so he can make something up and try to make them look stupid.
Why dont you stop letting horses ram your asshole? no one likes a dirty person!
Trouble Oh trouble set me free I have seen your face And it's too much too much for me Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You're eating my heart away And there's nothing much left of me I've drunk your wine You have made your world mine So won't you be fair So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you So won't you be kind to me Just let me go where I'll have to go there Trouble Oh trouble move away I have seen your face and it's too much for me today Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You have made me a wreck Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise Hangin' on me Hangin' on me I'm beat, I'm torn Shattered and tossed and worn Too shocking to see Too shocking to see Trouble Oh trouble move from me I have paid my debt Now won't you leave me in my misery

philosophical brilliance-beauty transcending...illuminating the beauty and pain of simply being alive, with and without love-hate; youth and aged; the Ideal spiritual condition=to forge into one, youth and aged; Harold and Maude; to accept so as to Be.

Be who you want to be in life, don't care about what other people want out of you. I love how they used "if you want to sing out, sing out" by Cat Stevens to reinforce the message of the movie.
Why do social taboos matter? we only have one shot at life, do what makes you happy, love who you want to love, even if it is an older woman and if you upset the local priest while doing it, all the more fun!
There's a million things to be, you know that there are.

Your view may be different, and I respect that.
Regardless, it was a beautiful, creative low budget movie, very underrated, and really fun to watch. This final scene, as a kid, really floored me, and the message at the end, of him plucking away at his banjo, really warmed my heart. The music, at the time, was ground breaking in terms of it driving the movie forward, it was so powerful at the time. I really loved this movie.

This was such a well made movie, with such a liberal and anti American blatant message. When I saw it at 18 years old, I was so affected by it, and bought in to the messages it was selling. Anti religion, anti "war", anti police, anti American. Thankfully I grew out of that unrealistic idealism. The messages are well intentioned, but not effective in the real world. Thats not being pessimistic , it's just what I've come to believe, base on my experiences in the world.
Bramiam 2 years ago
While I agree that those are themes of the movie and nonsense main message of the movie is to live life and love...
ElectricAfroMan 2 years ago
WHAT? Umm, the movie was in no way anti-american, anti-religion, or anti-anything. It was about how a young man obsessed with death became friends with, learned from, and fell in love with an old woman thrilled with life.

This movie transformed my life when I first saw it. :)
I think it was all the perspectives he was recieving.... from the doctor, the priest, his mother, etc. and all he really needed was a positive-minded old lady who truely listened to him to make him feel alive again. Wouldn't be great if we were all like that?

Yes, it's true. Cat / Yusuf donated tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas and Hezbolah, cash used for weapons, traced by Interpol. Cat also performed for fundraisers for these groups.

these groups also do a huge amount of charity work in the middle east and are two of the few organizations able(or willing) to do so do to cultural and conflict-based restraints

You should be aware that Cat / Yusuf supports terrorism..
Cat betrayed the world when he performed at HAMAS fund-raisers (disguised as Islamic Charities - money traced to Al Qaida) ,
Cat openly and ON-FILM agreed with Iran's "fatwa" by to kill an author of a book, (Salman Rushdie), and Yusuf has donated tens of thousands of his own cash to HAMAS charities ( the money traced to weapons ). This is even more betraying , because Cat previously wrote "Peace Train" ! (B4 he converted ) - Allah akbar.

rokker007-it's views like yours that contribute to the current instability of the world. Having taken a look at your 'favourited' videos, i can see which side of the fence you stand on... It's a shame the US has (in the past) acted like the worlds biggest terrorist organisation - Leaving acknowledged destruction in it's wake, for others to pick up the pieces and many innocent's dead! This I'm sure will now start to change... It's unsubstantiated views such as yours that take longer to change.

Cat / Yusuf agreed with Iran's fatwa to kill Rushdie ON FILM and you call it "unsubstantiated" ? You're not too bright, Nick. And the FBI looked into Yusuf's donations to Hamas and put Yusuf on the "Do-Not-Fly List". And Nick "Einstein" calls it unsubstantiated! Dunbass.
rokker007 2 years ago
Actually you are providing false information. Yusuf Islam commented on why the Fatwa was made and the reasoning behind it, however he later pointed out to news papers and other media outlets that he was merely explaining why they may have come the Ayetolla Khomaini may have come to that conclusion not supporting it. The whole things was blown way out of proportion by the British press. Another attempt to slander Islam.

As far as supporting Hammas, he spends all kinds of time and money supporting charity organizations for those less fortunate all over the world. If there was a charity which he donated to that did have links to Hammas he never did so willingly. He even stated that "The first time this accusation came up," he said, "I didn't even know what this organization was Nobody I've ever met has said, 'I'm from Hamas.' ". The American government under the bush era were the real terrorists here..
DawoodBC 2 years ago
You are gullible and mistaken. Cat was on the FBI's Do Not Fly List because he repeatedly donated cash and even performed for "fundraisers" for phony charities linked to Al Qaida. You are naive to believe Cat's story. Yusuf spoke strongly in favor of Iran's fatwa to kill an author - ON FILM. Only an idiot would dispute that.

All these "facts" r at least 4 y/o
No money cat donated has EVER been traced to any terrorist extremist or violent group.
The fatwa was LITERALLY a circumstance of an intentionally wrong translation for bad publicity.
The no fly list incident was a mistaken identity case and he was let on board after several hours in waiting, and has never been obstructed from a flight since.
I can only hope you can see the errors of your hateful ways before the day you are judged as harshly as you judge others
Maddhater1 2 years ago
MadHater , you are wrong. Cash Yusuf donated WAS traced to Hamas weapons by Interpol. The FBI didn't let Cat fly for YEARS, they only recently took him off the Do-Not-Fly List. And Cat said "He must be killed" when asked about Rushdie , ON FILM. MadHater, you are a dumbass.

lol you are literally making this up as you go!
iv seen what you do, go and copy/paste the same message on different cat stevens videos and come up with a false situation whenever it suites you.
your simply crying out for attention.
Please dont acknowledge the lies this idiot makes up to cause trouble, he jst wants to get a rise out of someone so he can make something up and try to make them look stupid.
