| DVD Description 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 |

One of my all time favorite movies I remember seeing this movie on TV (cut to hell) when I was a kid and not understanding it too much. With the advent of cable TV, I viewed it in it's original cinematic form as a young adult. One of the more poignant scenes is when Benjamin is asking Mrs. Robinson about her marriage and how she came to be with Mr. Robinson. The look on her face spoke volumes as she described getting pregnant and having to get married. Things were alot different back then, being an unwed woman was such a social stigma. I would suggest after seeing this movie to also see "Rumor Has It" with Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. It's a dandy follow up to "The Graduate".
Finally, a deluxe edition a great film-this is 2-disc remastered and anamorphic release-and the specail bonus- the Simon and Garfunkle soundtrack disc, the only one of their catalog until now, not yet remastered.
The Graduate One of the signature films of the 1960s, this feature introduced the world to Hoffman and gave Bancroft a racy role she played with marvelous feline cunning. This sublime black comedy transcends its period, speaking to new generations of alienated youth beginning to navigate a discordant, dysfunctional adult world. The supporting cast, including deft character players William Daniels and Murray Hamilton, are note-perfect, and that Simon & Garfunkel score still stirs the soul. A must for repeat viewings. |
