Nominated* for seven Academy AwardsÂ(r) and winner for Best Director, this ground breaking and “wildly hilarious” (The Boston Globe) social satire launched the career of two-time OscarÂ(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 fathers 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 theres one problem: shes Mrs. Robinsons daughter!

   I missed this one when it first came out as a movie. The reviews across the years caused me to want to see it. You had it on DVD. This was my chance to view it. I was not disappointed. Keep the “old ones” coming!
