Friday Night Movie at the Williamsville Hall presents "Harold and Maude" (1971) on Friday, July 26 at 7:30 PM. This dramatic, dark, romantic comedy, directed by Hal Ashby, stars Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon. Although a commercial and critical flop when it was first released, it remains an enduring cult classic, has been ranked by the AFI as a top ten romantic comedy, and is on the National Film Registry. Harold is a young man who stages fake suicides, drives a hearse, and attends the funerals of people he does not know. His controlling mother desperately tries to arrange dates for him, but Harold meets and falls in love with Maude, a charming, eccentric 79-year-old. Their unusual romance is believable and touching as Maude helps Harold learn to enjoy life to its fullest. Refreshments will be served.
