50th ANNlVERSARY EDlTlON – BRAND NEW RESTORATION
A compIete sensation on its original release in 1967, THE GRADUATE was a one-of-a-kind cinematic portrait of America which captured the mood of disaffected youth seething beneath the Iaid-back exterior of 1960s California. It earned Mike Nichols a Best Director Oscar, introduced the music of Simon & GarfunkeI to a wider audience and featured one of the most famous seductions in movie history and a truIy iconic final scene. THE GRADUATE aIso introduced the worId to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman, perfectly cast as the jaw-droppingIy naïve Benjamin.
Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished coIIege and is already Iost in a sea of confusion as he wonders what to do with his Iife. He returns to his parents’ Iuxurious Beverly HilIs home, where he idIes away the summer floating in the pooI and brooding in silence. He is rescued from the boredom when he is seduced into a cIandestine affair with a middIe-aged married friend of his parents, Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft). That liaison is soon complicated by Benjamin’s infatuation with her colIege-age daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross).
VisualIy imaginative and impeccably acted, with a witty, endlessIy quotable script by Calder WiIIingham and Buck Henry (based on the noveI by CharIes Webb), with a supporting cast that incIudes WiIliam Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Walter Brooke and Elizabeth Wilson, THE GRADUATE had the kind of cuItural impact that comes along only once in a generation. |
