Yep, Cleopatra is pretty well gone. Nice to see another Harold And Maude fan! I didn't know there were cut scenes - I know a copy of the original novel is floating around online (it's out of print, I think).

Yeah, there are some still photos in existence from the H&M cut scenes (who knows if the footage still exists- probably not). One scene consisted of Harold constructing a dummy of himself, which he was then going to chop the head off of to freak his mother out. The scene showed his mother coming to the door of his room and talking to the dummy (not knowing it's not Harold), while Harold sits in his closet and listens in.

"Bud Cort visited the Cinematheque Francaise to publicly present Jacques Tati with a donation for the Museum of Cinema - a severed Harold head from a fake suicide scene ultimately cut from the movie." (from news article)

There are also a few snippets of cut scenes in the DVD's movie trailers.
