The Graduate (1967)

Wed, Feb 05, 2014./noise/movies | Link

A Mike Nichols segue from Charlie Wilson's War. I guess it must be tough following up Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, especially if that's your first gig. Dustin Hoffman is a bit irritating here; so much so I'm tempted to watch his Oscar winners (Kramer v's Kramer and Rain Man) to see what the fuss was later about. He got a nomination for this one though I can't see why. Rated #220 in the IMDB top-250, this week.
