THE GRADUATE (1967)

Dustin Hoffman burst onto the cinematic scene with his memorable performance as a naïve college graduate seduced by a middle-aged neighbor (Anne Bancroft), though he ends up falling for her beautiful, young daughter (Katharine Ross) – with consequences both traumatic and comedic. Mike Nichols captured a Best Director Oscar for this quintessential 60s tale, graced with a hugely appealing Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack featuring their iconic pop classic "Mrs. Robinson."

The cast includes: Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, Murray Hamilton, William Daniels, Elizabeth Wilson, Brian Avery, Norman Fell, Marion Lorne, and Alice Ghostly.

#7 on the AFI Top 100.

THE GRADUATE was nominated for the Best Picture award. Seven Oscar nominations; one win (Best Director).

THE GRADUATE, from director Mike Nichols, is one of the best made, most influential of the youth movies of the late 1960's and early 1970's.
