This is a stage adaptation of the movie about the suicidal 19 year old boy who finally learns how to truly live when he meets that delightfully wacky octogenarian, Maude. Harold is the proverbial poor little rich kid. His alienation has caused him to attempt suicide several times, though these incidents are more cries for attention than actual attempts. His peculiar attachment to Maude, whom he meets at a funeral (a mutual passion) is what saves him and what captivates us. This stage version, a hit in France directed by the internationally renowned Jean Louis Barrault, will certainly delight both aficionados of the film and new comers to the story.

We now catalog in a post-AACR2 world. RDA: Resource Description and Access is designed to cover all types of content and media, but communities of practice are still evolving for motion picture and video materials. This handbook clarifies the protocol for DVDs and Blu-ray discs, expanding upon established guidelines for AACR2 and integrating them into the new standard. Along the way, Higgins introduces the fundamentals of filmmaking, including its history and technical vocabulary, providing context that will help catalogers quickly find the information relevant to their bibliographic records. Organized by familiar MARC 21 fields, this comprehensive reference walks readers through such topics asUnraveling the complexity of film and the ways it is packaged and presented on optical disc, to help quickly determine the title statement and statement of responsibilityExplaining the roles of the individuals and organizations involved in the creation and publication of film, and where to record them in catalog recordsDeciphering the technical terms and abbreviations used on DVDs and Blu-ray discsUsing subject and genre headingsCataloging television and streaming mediaDealing with unusual formats, such as videotape and reels of photochemical filmOutlining the MARC 21 fields where AACR2 practices differed from RDAWith the expert guidance contained in this book, readers will learn how to apply RDA instructions to the cataloging of every type of film and video collection, whatever the medium.

Nineteen-year-old Harold Chasen is obsessed with death. He fakes suicides to shock his self-obsessed mother, drives a hearse, and attends funerals of complete strangers. Seventy-nine-year-old Maude Chardin, on the other hand, adores life. 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. 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. The quirky, dark comedy gained a loyal cult following, and in 1997 it was selected for inclusion on the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Higgins’s novelization was released with the original film but has been out of print for more than thirty years. Fans who have seen the movie dozens of times will find this a valuable companion, as it gives fresh elements to watch for and answers many of the film’s unresolved questions.

Üheksateistaastase Harold Chaseni kinnisideeks on surm. Ta lavastab enesetappe, et oma ennast täis ema shokeerida, sõidab surnuautoga ja osaleb võhivõõrastel matustel. Seitsmekümne üheksa aastane Maude Chardin aga hoopis jumaldab elu. Ta vabastab linna kõnniteeäärsetelt puid ja istutab neid ümber metsa, joonistab kirikus skulptuuride nägudele naeratusi, ning "laenab" autosid, et nende omanikele meelde tuletada, et elu on üürike - täna siin, homme läinud! Nende kahe juhuslikust kohtumisest kujuneb iseäralik ja peadpööritav armulugu ning Harold õpib, et elu on elamist väärt ja kuidas bandzhot mängida."Harold ja Maude" oli Colin Higginsi magistritöö California ülikoolis UCLA filmiosakonnas, enne kui rezhissöör Hal Ashby sellest 1971. aastal filmi tegi. Pentsik tume must komöödia muutus kultuslikuks ja 1997. aastal valiti see USA Kongressi Raamatukogu riiklikku filminimistusse. Higginsi romaan ilmus koos algse filmiga, kuid on olnud läbimüüdud rohkem kui kolmkümmend aastat. Fännide jaoks, kes on filmi kümneid kordi näinud, on see raamat väärt kaaslane, kuna heidab valgust uutele detailidele, mida tähele panna, ja vastab hulgale filmis vastuseta jäänud küsimustele.Colin Higgins oli stsenarist, rezhissöör ja produtsent, kelle loodud on filmid "Harold and Maude", "Silver Streak", "Foul Play", "9 to 5" ja "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". Ta suri 1988. aastal 47 aasta vanuselt.
