Film Notes
"Few films have defined a generation as The Graduate
did. The alienation, the nonconformity, the intergenerational romance, the blissful Simon
and Garfunkel soundtrack, they all served to lob a cultural grenade smack into the middle
of 1967 America, ultimately making the film the third most profitable up to that time.
Seen from a later perspective, its radical chicness has dimmed a bit, yet it's still a joy
to see Dustin Hoffman's bemused Benjamin and Anne Bancroft's deliciously decadent,
sardonic Mrs. Robinson. The script by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham is still offbeat
and dryly funny, and Mike Nichols, who won an Oscar for his direction, has just the right,
light touch." (Anne Hurley, Amazon.com)
If you look closely you can see Mike Farrell in hotel lobby and
Richard Dreyfuss in Berkeley rooming house.
