Nominated for seven Academy Awards(R) and winner for Best Director, this ground
breaking and "wildly hilarious" (The Boston Globe) social satire launched the
career of two-time Oscar(R)-winner Dustin Hoffman and cemented the reputation of
acclaimed director Mike Nichols. Pulsating with the rebellious spirit of the
’60s and a haunting score sung by Simon and Garfunkel, "The Graduate" is truly a
"landmark film" (Leonard Maltin).
Shy Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) returns
home from college with an uncertain future. Then the wife of his father’s
business partner, the sexy Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), seduces him, and the
affair only deepens his confusion. That is, until he meets the girl of his
dreams (Katharine Ross). But there’s one problem: she’s Mrs. Robinson’s
daughter.
