The Graduate (1967) | The Criterion Collection

The film The Graduate opened at two theaters in New York:
the Coronet on Third Avenue and the Lincoln Art Theater
on Broadway.

The film, based on a 1963 novel by Charles Webb, had a
simple premise: As its screenwriter explained it, “this kid
graduates college, has an affair with his parents’ best friend
and then falls in love with the friend’s daughter.”

Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman starred in the film that
received seven nominations at the 40th Academy Awards,
including for Best Picture and Best Director, the latter being
the film’s sole win.

The movie is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most
influential films of all time
