The Graduate 1967. Screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry. Based on the novel by Charles Webb. I was a teenager when this movie came out. I was shocked (!) and more than a bit dazzled by Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft). If I were of the male persuasion I'm sure I would have been more than dazzled. The film (soundtrack, acting, directing, cinematography, screenplay) rank at the top of my "If I Were Stranded on a Desert Island.." list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x5fJzmqza8 The clip is 9:11 with an iconic shot at 5:19. Trivia: In the famous promotional still for this film, Dustin Hoffman is seen in the background framed by Mrs. Robinson's shapely leg. The leg in that photo didn't belong to Anne Bancroft, however; it belonged to a then-unknown model, Linda Gray, who later played Mrs. Robinson in a London stage musical of The Graduate. The movie's line "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" was voted as the #63 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100), as the #5 of Premiere's "100 Greatest Movie Lines" (2007)
