The One-Two punch that began New Hollywood continues with the suburban dramedy, “The Graduate”. This sophomore effort from director Mike Nichols is a highly quotable tale of a listless youngster falling into an affair with first the wife, and then daughter of a family friend. The movie still resonates (for some people at least…), due in no small part to the bravura performances by Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft, as well as the haunting Simon and Garfunkel score. Topics include: depression, plaaaastics, and if sleeping with your partner’s mom would be a dealbreaker.
