Harold and Maude started as Colin Higgins's master's thesis at UCLA film school before being made into the 1971 film directed by Hal Ashby. She liberates trees from city sidewalks and transplants them to the forest, paints smiles on the faces of church statues, and "borrows" cars to remind their owners that life is fleeting- here today, gone tomorrow! A chance meeting between the two turns into a madcap, whirlwind romance, and Harold learns that life is worth living, and how to play the banjo. Seventy-nine-year-old Maude Chardin, on the other hand, adores life. He fakes suicides to shock his self-obsessed mother, drives a hearse, and attends funerals of complete strangers. Nineteen-year-old Harold Chasen is obsessed with death.
