@bettyfelon1 He actually wanted Elton to play the role of Harold but he turned it down because his career as a musician was just starting. He has said that he was upset that he had to do that and that Bud Cort played a great part. Love Elton and love 'Harold and Maude'!

Hal Ashby initially wanted Elton John to do the music but EJ turned him down. Can you imagine what that would have been like?

@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"

@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."

@IdaGno actually they froze it so you could see it was his car and so you could see that he wasn't in it



Such an incredible movie & song!!! Loved the movie so much I named my cats Harold & Maude :)

@flourish66 I think the ending couldn't have been more perfect, but to each his/her own, I guess.
