The Graduate is a 1967 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mike Nichols and written by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham, based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Charles Webb, who wrote it shortly after graduating from Williams College. A bildungsroman that follows its protagonist's transition into adulthood, the film tells the story of 21-year-old Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a recent college graduate with no well-defined aim in life, who is seduced by an older woman, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), and then falls in love with her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross). The film was released on December 22, 1967, received positive reviews and grossed $104.9 million. With the figures adjusted for inflation the film's gross is $770 million, making it the 22nd highest-ever grossing film in North America. In 1996, The Graduate was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Initially, the film was placed at number 7 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list in 1998. When AFI revised the list in 2007, the film was moved to number 17. The Graduate won the Academy Award for Best Director for Nichols and was nominated in six other categories, making it the last film so far to win Best Director and nothing else. #thegraduate #mikenichols #dustinhoffman #annebancroft #katherineross #romantic #drama #classicmovie #cinemaclassic #goldenyears

One day in 1979 as I sat in my office reading Variety, my secretary put this guy on my desk and the next thing I did was take him home. I placed this guy on my reclining wife's chest. (Estelle, had just awakened from a nap) "What do we do with this fella?" I asked. "We keep him," she said, "and we'll call him Homer." Mel Brooks and his wife, Anne Bancroft were our first friends to meet the new member of our family and they found the addition to be a worthy one. After seeing how much Anne and Mel enjoyed meeting Homer, I decided that I'd give all my friends that opportunity. With my little Minox camera I took pictures of Homer with the star of "The Jerk," Steve Martin. Following are a raft of obliging celebrities I bothered. #carlreiner #puppylove #1979 #nationalloveyourpetday
