April 2009
Specialist French distributor Madadayo Films is set to release Hal Ashby’s cult hit HAROLD AND MAUDE in April 2009.
Hal Ashby’s directorial work includes SHAMPOO (1975), starring Warren Beatty, and COMING HOME (1978), which won three Academy Awards.
When first released, HAROLD AND MAUDE received lukewarm reviews and was considered a failure until it became a huge cult hit and gained a huge international following. The plot concerns a morbid and aimless young man (played by Bud Cort) who develops a relationship with a septuagenarian (Ruth Gordon).
HAROLD AND MAUDE is a Paramount film, and is available for theatrical licensing from Hollywood Classics.
