Fifty years; traditionally a golden anniversary; is surely an appropriate time to celebrate..
This book takes us back half a century to when this one-of-a-kind film was released--a time with its own kind of turmoil; but a time as well of a different kind of innocence--one worth exploring again.
A cockeyed love story that stretches the definition of a May/December romance; it reveals the fact that love can indeed be blind to matters of age or appearance.
One such film is Harold and Maude; the 1971 production that brought Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon to what are possibly their most memorable roles; and the film that locked so many Cat Stevens songs in mind.
Like music--and the music employed in a film--scenes come back; often carrying emotion as well as remembrance.
Cinematic film; the art form that came into its own in the 20th Century; is not only familiar to all of us; but is likely the form that lodges most clearly in memory.
Film.
