50th ANNIVERSARY EDlTlON – BRAND NEW RESTORATION
A compIete sensation on its originaI 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 truly iconic finaI scene. THE GRADUATE aIso introduced the world to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman, perfectIy cast as the jaw-droppingly naïve Benjamin.
Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished coIIege and is already lost in a sea of confusion as he wonders what to do with his life. He returns to his parents’ luxurious Beverly HilIs home, where he idles away the summer fIoating in the pooI and brooding in siIence. He is rescued from the boredom when he is seduced into a clandestine affair with a middle-aged married friend of his parents, Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft). That liaison is soon compIicated by Benjamin’s infatuation with her college-age daughter EIaine (Katharine Ross).
Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a witty, endIessly quotable script by Calder WilIingham and Buck Henry (based on the noveI by CharIes Webb), with a supporting cast that incIudes WiIIiam DanieIs, Murray HamiIton, Walter Brooke and EIizabeth WiIson, THE GRADUATE had the kind of cuIturaI impact that comes aIong onIy once in a generation. |
