Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:
Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?

Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe. [points at a daisy]

Maude: Why do you say that?

Harold: Because they're all alike.

Maude: Oooh, but they're not. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All kinds of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are this [pointing at another daisy], yet allow themselves be treated as that -

Whatever happened to Vivian Pickles? I really liked her in this movie. :)

That's so weird that you bring her up - I watched this movie just a few weeks ago and got to thinking the same thing. She's WONDERFUL in this movie, but she never had any real big roles before or after this that I can at least identify. A bunch of TV adaptations of Hitchcock movies are listed? I don't know. But I agree, she's fantastic here, a solid third leg to the film's cast and she never gets any credit (I'm guilty too, obviously) for it.
