3. A movie like no other

I'm a Ruth Gordon fan. Her personality for me was grating and hard to take but I recognize her tremendous talent. The scene in another unusual comedy, Where's Papa where she plays George Segal's annoying senile mother and pulls down her son's underpants and buries her face between his cheeks at the dinner table in front of his new girlfriend when he brings her home almost stopped my heart, I laughed so hard.

7. If you look it up

I believe there was a change of title somewhere along the way. I originally saw it in the theater in 1970 as part of a double feature with Woody Allen's Take The Money And Run and it had the title Where's Papa. I believe there was a 1979 made-for-tv remake with that name and you now have to look for the Ruth Gordon original under the title Going Ape.

6. The funniest movie ever made. The original ending however was somewhat disturbing.

9. I didn't get it. Did that young fella fall in love with the elderly woman? nt

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. They fell in love with one another and, believe it or not... it was beautiful.

10. My favorite scene is when they're having a picnic and the camera keeps pulling away..

...to reveal that they're in a military cemetery and there's endless row after row after row after row of
white crosses while Cat Stevens' "Where Do the Children Play" is the soundtrack music.

Brilliant!!!

12. Great flick.

Some of the dialogue that I loved...

Maude: That little tree — it's in trouble. Come on. [Harold and Maude walk over to a tree growing through the sidewalk in front of a building.] Look at it. Oh, it's suffocating. Well, it's the smog. You know, people can live with it, but trees — it gives them asthma. They can't breathe. The leaves, look, they’re turning all brown. Harold, we have got to do something about this life.
Harold: What?
Maude: We'll transplant it. To the forest.
Harold: You can't do that
Maude: Why not?
Harold: This is public property.
Maude: Well, exactly.

********


Harold: Maude?
Maude: Hmm?
Harold: Do you pray?
Maude: Pray? No. I communicate.
Harold: With God?
Maude: With Life.
