TONY'S COMMENTS :
Dustin Hoffman, in his film debut, stars as Benjamin, a young college graduate who is seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), the wife of his father's boss. The plot is complicated when Hoffman falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross). The film won the Golden Globe award for Best Picture & Mike Nichols won the Oscar for Best Director. Brilliant performances & an unforgettable music score by Simon and Garfunkel make this film, the masterpiece that it is. "The Graduate" is considered by some to be one of the finest films ever made. Don't miss it.
