It stars <a href="Dustin_Hoffman" title="Dustin Hoffman">Dustin Hoffman</a> as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who is seduced by an older married woman, Mrs. Robinson (<a href="Anne_Bancroft" title="Anne Bancroft">Anne Bancroft</a>), but falls for her daughter, Elaine (<a href="Katharine_Ross" title="Katharine Ross">Katharine Ross</a>). The soundtrack was recorded by <a href="Simon_%26_Garfunkel" title="Simon & Garfunkel">Simon & Garfunkel</a>, and featured the hit single "<a href="Mrs._Robinson" title="Mrs. Robinson">Mrs. Robinson</a>".

The Graduate was released December 21, 1967. It grossed $104.9 million in the United States and Canada, making it the <a href="1967_in_film" title="1967 in film">highest-grossing film of 1967</a> in North America. Adjusted for inflation (as of 2021), its gross is $857 million, making it the <a href="List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_the_United_States_and_Canada" title="List of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada">22nd-highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada</a>.<a href="#cite_note-all-time-8">[8]</a> It received seven nominations at the <a href="40th_Academy_Awards" title="40th Academy Awards">40th Academy Awards</a>, and won for <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Director" title="Academy Award for Best Director">Best Director</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

In 1996, The Graduate was selected for preservation in the U.S. <a href="National_Film_Registry" title="National Film Registry">National Film Registry</a> as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-LOC-11">[11]</a> The following year, the <a href="American_Film_Institute" title="American Film Institute">American Film Institute</a> ranked it the <a href="AFI's_100_Years...100_Movies" title="AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies">7th-greatest American film</a> and the <a href="AFI's_100_Years...100_Movies" title="AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies">17th-greatest in 2007</a>. It is widely regarded as one of the <a href="List_of_films_considered_the_best" class="mw-redirect" title="List of films considered the best">greatest and most influential films</a>.

After earning his <a href="Bachelor's_degree" title="Bachelor's degree">bachelor's degree</a>, Benjamin Braddock returns to his parents' home in <a href="Pasadena%2C_California" title="Pasadena, California">Pasadena, California</a>. During his graduation party, Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's law partner, asks him to drive her home. Once there, she tries to seduce him. He resists her advances, but later invites Mrs. Robinson to the Taft Hotel, where he registers under the surname Gladstone.

Benjamin spends the summer idly floating in his parents' swimming pool and meeting Mrs. Robinson at the hotel. During one of their trysts, Mrs. Robinson reveals that she and her husband married after she accidentally became pregnant with their daughter, Elaine. When Benjamin jokingly suggests that he date Elaine, Mrs. Robinson angrily forbids it.

Benjamin's parents and Mr. Robinson pester Benjamin to ask Elaine out. He reluctantly takes her out, but attempts to sabotage the date by ignoring her, driving recklessly and taking her to a <a href="Strip_club" title="Strip club">strip club</a>. She flees in tears, but Benjamin chases after her, apologizes and kisses her. They eat at a <a href="Drive-in" title="Drive-in">drive-in</a> restaurant, where they bond over their shared uncertainty about their future plans. After they visit the Taft Hotel for a late-night drink and the staff greet Benjamin as Mr. Gladstone, Elaine deduces that Benjamin is having an affair. Benjamin admits to having an affair with a married woman whom he does not name. He tells Elaine the affair is over and asks to see her again.

To prevent Benjamin from dating Elaine, Mrs. Robinson threatens to tell her about their affair. To thwart this, Benjamin tells Elaine that the married woman is her mother. Elaine throws Benjamin out of the house and returns to school at <a href="University_of_California%2C_Berkeley" title="University of California, Berkeley">Berkeley</a>. Benjamin follows her there, hoping to regain her affections. Elaine initially rejects him and briefly dates a medical student, Carl. When she learns her mother lied about Benjamin raping her, she reconciles with him. Benjamin pushes for marriage, but Elaine is uncertain despite her feelings for him. Mr. Robinson arrives at Berkeley and angrily confronts Benjamin. He informs him that he and Mrs. Robinson are getting divorced and threatens to have him jailed if he keeps seeing Elaine. Mr. Robinson forces Elaine to leave college to marry Carl.

Benjamin drives to Pasadena and enters the Robinson home searching for Elaine. He finds Mrs. Robinson, who tells him that he cannot prevent Elaine's marriage to Carl. Benjamin flees the house and drives back to Berkeley. There he discovers the wedding is in <a href="Santa_Barbara%2C_California" title="Santa Barbara, California">Santa Barbara</a> that day. He speeds over 300 miles to Santa Barbara, but his car runs out of gas a short distance from the church.

Benjamin runs to the church, arriving just as the ceremony is ending. His desperate appearance in the glass church gallery stirs Elaine into defying her mother and fleeing the sanctuary. Benjamin fights off Mr. Robinson and repels the wedding guests by swinging a large cross, which he uses to barricade the church doors, trapping everyone inside. Benjamin and Elaine escape aboard a bus and sit among the startled passengers, with Elaine still in her wedding gown. As the bus drives on, their ecstatic smiles slowly change into neutral expressions.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2></div>

Getting the film made was difficult for Nichols, who, while noted for being a successful Broadway director, was still an unknown in Hollywood. Producer <a href="Lawrence_Turman" title="Lawrence Turman">Lawrence Turman</a>, who wanted only Nichols to direct it, was continually turned down for financing. Turman also said that every studio turned down the project, saying "they read the book and hated it, and no one thought it was funny".<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> He then contacted producer <a href="Joseph_E._Levine" title="Joseph E. Levine">Joseph E. Levine</a>, who said he would finance the film because he had associated with Nichols on the play <a href="The_Knack_...and_How_to_Get_It" title="The Knack ...and How to Get It">The Knack</a>,<a href="#cite_note-fee-13">[13]</a> and because he heard Elizabeth Taylor specifically wanted Nichols to direct her and Richard Burton in <a href="Who's_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf_(film)" class="mw-redirect" title="Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (film)">Virginia Woolf</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a>

With financing assured, Nichols suggested <a href="Buck_Henry" title="Buck Henry">Buck Henry</a> for screenwriter, although Henry's experience had also been mostly in improvised comedy, and he had no writing background. Nichols said to Henry, "I think you could do it; I think you should do it."<a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a> Nichols was paid $150,000, and was to receive one-sixth of the profits.<a href="#cite_note-fee-13">[13]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting">Casting</h3></div>

Nichols' first choice for Mrs. Robinson was French actress <a href="Jeanne_Moreau" title="Jeanne Moreau">Jeanne Moreau</a>.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> The motivation for this was the cliché that in French culture, "older" women tended to "train" the younger men in <a href="Sexual_matters" class="mw-redirect" title="Sexual matters">sexual matters</a>. Casting for the project was challenging.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> <a href="Doris_Day" title="Doris Day">Doris Day</a> turned down an offer because the nudity required by the role offended her.<a href="#cite_note-mcgee-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> <a href="Shelley_Winters" title="Shelley Winters">Shelley Winters</a>, <a href="Ingrid_Bergman" title="Ingrid Bergman">Ingrid Bergman</a>, <a href="Eva_Marie_Saint" title="Eva Marie Saint">Eva Marie Saint</a>, <a href="Ava_Gardner" title="Ava Gardner">Ava Gardner</a>, <a href="Patricia_Neal" title="Patricia Neal">Patricia Neal</a>, <a href="Susan_Hayward" title="Susan Hayward">Susan Hayward</a>, <a href="Deborah_Kerr" title="Deborah Kerr">Deborah Kerr</a>, <a href="Rita_Hayworth" title="Rita Hayworth">Rita Hayworth</a>, <a href="Lana_Turner" title="Lana Turner">Lana Turner</a> and <a href="Geraldine_Page" title="Geraldine Page">Geraldine Page</a> were also considered for the role of Mrs. Robinson.<a href="#cite_note-vulture-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a>

<a href="Dustin_Hoffman" title="Dustin Hoffman">Dustin Hoffman</a> was cast as Liebkind in the <a href="Mel_Brooks" title="Mel Brooks">Mel Brooks</a> film <a href="The_Producers_(1967_film)" title="The Producers (1967 film)">The Producers</a> (1967), but before filming began Hoffman begged Brooks to let him go to audition for The Graduate.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> When Dustin Hoffman auditioned for the role of Benjamin, he was just short of his 30th birthday at the time of filming. He was asked to perform a love scene with Ross, having previously never done one, and believed that, as he said later, "a girl like [Ross] would never go for a guy like me in a million years". Ross agreed, believing that Hoffman "looked about 3 feet tall ... so unkempt. This is going to be a disaster." Producer <a href="Joseph_E._Levine" title="Joseph E. Levine">Joseph E. Levine</a> later admitted that he at first believed Hoffman "was one of the messenger boys". Despite – or perhaps because of – Hoffman's awkwardness, Nichols chose him for the film.<a href="#cite_note-life19671124-22">[22]</a>

"As far as I'm concerned, Mike Nichols did a very courageous thing casting me in a part that I was not right for, meaning I was Jewish," said Hoffman. "In fact, many of the reviews were very negative. It was kind of veiled anti-Semitism.... I was called 'big-nosed' in the reviews; 'a nasal voice'."<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Hoffman was paid $20,000 for his role in the film, but netted just $4,000 after taxes and living expenses. After spending that money, Hoffman filed for New York State <a href="Unemployment_benefits" title="Unemployment benefits">unemployment benefits</a>, receiving $55 per week while living in a two-room apartment in the <a href="West_Village" title="West Village">West Village</a> of <a href="Manhattan" title="Manhattan">Manhattan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

Before Hoffman was cast, <a href="Robert_Redford" title="Robert Redford">Robert Redford</a> and <a href="Charles_Grodin" title="Charles Grodin">Charles Grodin</a> were among the top choices. Redford tested for the part of Benjamin (with <a href="Candice_Bergen" title="Candice Bergen">Candice Bergen</a> as Elaine), but Nichols thought Redford did not possess the underdog quality Benjamin needed.<a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a> Grodin turned down the part at first because of the low $500/week salary offered by producer <a href="Lawrence_Turman" title="Lawrence Turman">Lawrence Turman</a>. Grodin was offered more money, but declined again because he did not believe he could prepare for a screen test for the film overnight. "If they had given me three days to prepare, I think I would have gotten the role," he said.<a href="#cite_note-vulture-20">[20]</a>

<a href="Harrison_Ford" title="Harrison Ford">Harrison Ford</a> also auditioned for the role of Benjamin Braddock but was turned down.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a>

<a href="Burt_Ward" title="Burt Ward">Burt Ward</a> was informally offered Hoffman's role, but was already committed to the role of Robin in the <a href="Batman_(TV_series)" title="Batman (TV series)">Batman television series</a>.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

<a href="Jack_Nicholson" title="Jack Nicholson">Jack Nicholson</a>, <a href="Steve_McQueen" title="Steve McQueen">Steve McQueen</a>, <a href="Anthony_Perkins" title="Anthony Perkins">Anthony Perkins</a>, <a href="Warren_Beatty" title="Warren Beatty">Warren Beatty</a>, <a href="George_Peppard" title="George Peppard">George Peppard</a>, <a href="George_Hamilton_(actor)" title="George Hamilton (actor)">George Hamilton</a>, <a href="Keir_Dullea" title="Keir Dullea">Keir Dullea</a>, <a href="Brandon_deWilde" title="Brandon deWilde">Brandon deWilde</a> and <a href="Michael_Parks" title="Michael Parks">Michael Parks</a> were also considered for the role of Benjamin Braddock.<a href="#cite_note-vulture-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>

<a href="Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> was considered for the part of Benjamin's father Mr. Braddock, which eventually went to William Daniels.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Nichols cast <a href="Gene_Hackman" title="Gene Hackman">Gene Hackman</a> as Mr. Robinson, but he was later fired after a few days of rehearsals; he was replaced by Murray Hamilton.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> Many years later, Hackman said that being fired from the film still hurt him.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a>

Despite playing mother and daughter, <a href="Anne_Bancroft" title="Anne Bancroft">Anne Bancroft</a> and <a href="Katharine_Ross" title="Katharine Ross">Katharine Ross</a> were only eight years apart in age. Bancroft and Hoffman differed less than six.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Filming">Filming</h3></div>

The quality of the <a href="Cinematography" title="Cinematography">cinematography</a> was influenced by Nichols, who chose <a href="Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Oscar</a> winner <a href="Robert_Surtees_(cinematographer)" title="Robert Surtees (cinematographer)">Robert Surtees</a> to do the photography. Surtees, who had photographed major films since the 1920s, including <a href="Ben-Hur_(1959_film)" title="Ben-Hur (1959 film)">Ben-Hur</a>, said later, "It took everything I had learned over 30 years to be able to do the job. I knew that Mike Nichols was a young director who went in for a lot of camera. We did more things in this picture than I ever did in one film."<a href="#cite_note-Kashner-14">[14]</a>

Many of the exterior university campus shots of Berkeley were actually filmed on the brick campus of <a href="University_of_Southern_California" title="University of Southern California">USC</a> in <a href="Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>.<a href="#cite_note-USCfilming-31">[31]</a>

The church used for the wedding scene is actually the United Methodist Church in <a href="La_Verne%2C_California" title="La Verne, California">La Verne</a>. In an <a href="Audio_commentary" title="Audio commentary">audio commentary</a> released with the 40th anniversary <a href="DVD" title="DVD">DVD</a>, Hoffman revealed he was uneasy about the scene in which he pounds on the church window, as the minister of the <a href="Church_(building)" title="Church (building)">church</a> had been watching the filming disapprovingly.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> The wedding scene was highly influenced by the ending of the 1924 comedy film <a href="Girl_Shy" title="Girl Shy">Girl Shy</a> starring <a href="Harold_Lloyd" title="Harold Lloyd">Harold Lloyd</a>, who also served as an advisor for the scene in The Graduate.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a>

The film boosted the profile of <a href="Folk-rock" class="mw-redirect" title="Folk-rock">folk-rock</a> duo <a href="Simon_%26_Garfunkel" title="Simon & Garfunkel">Simon & Garfunkel</a>. Originally, Nichols and O'Steen used their existing songs like "<a href="The_Sound_of_Silence" title="The Sound of Silence">The Sound of Silence</a>" merely as a pacing device for the editing, until Nichols decided that substituting original music would not be effective, and decided to include them on the soundtrack, an unusual move at that time.<a href="#cite_note-harris-36">[36]</a>

According to a <a href="Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a> article by <a href="Peter_Bart" title="Peter Bart">Peter Bart</a> in the May 15, 2005, issue, <a href="Lawrence_Turman" title="Lawrence Turman">Lawrence Turman</a>, his producer, then made a deal for Simon to write three new songs for the movie. By the time they had nearly finished editing the film, Simon had written only one new song. Nichols begged him for more, but Simon, who was touring constantly, told him he did not have the time. He did play a few notes of a new song he had been working on: "It's not for the movie...

A <a href="Blu-ray" title="Blu-ray">Blu-ray</a> release was first issued by <a href="20th_Century_Fox_Home_Entertainment" class="mw-redirect" title="20th Century Fox Home Entertainment">20th Century Fox Home Entertainment</a> in 2009 and later by <a href="StudioCanal" title="StudioCanal">StudioCanal</a> in 2010.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> A <a href="4K_resolution" title="4K resolution">4K</a> digital restoration of the film was released by <a href="The_Criterion_Collection" title="The Criterion Collection">The Criterion Collection</a> in 2016.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> It will be released on <a href="Ultra_HD_Blu-ray" title="Ultra HD Blu-ray">Ultra HD Blu-ray</a> by StudioCanal in September 2025.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a>

The Graduate was met with generally positive reviews from critics upon its release. A.D. Murphy of <a href="Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a> and <a href="Roger_Ebert" title="Roger Ebert">Roger Ebert</a> of the <a href="Chicago_Sun-Times" title="Chicago Sun-Times">Chicago Sun-Times</a> praised the film, with Murphy describing it as a "delightful satirical comedy drama",<a href="#cite_note-variety-41">[41]</a> and Ebert claiming it was the "funniest American comedy of the year".<a href="#cite_note-ebert-42">[42]</a>

However, <a href="Life_(magazine)" title="Life (magazine)">Life</a> critic <a href="Richard_Schickel" title="Richard Schickel">Richard Schickel</a> felt the film "starts out to satirize the alienated spirit of modern youth, does so with uncommon brilliance for its first half, but ends up selling out to the very spirit its creators intended to make fun of... It's a shame – they were halfway to something wonderful when they skidded on a patch of greasy kid stuff."<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a>

<a href="Pauline_Kael" title="Pauline Kael">Pauline Kael</a> wondered, "How could you convince them [younger viewers] that a movie that sells innocence is a very commercial piece of work when they're so clearly in the market to buy innocence?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGray2017166–167-44">[44]</a>

Critics continue to praise the film, if not always with the same ardor. For the film's thirtieth anniversary reissue, Ebert retracted some of his previous praise for it, noting that he felt its time had passed, and that he now had more sympathy for Mrs. Robinson than for Benjamin (whom he considered "an insufferable creep"), viewing one's sympathy for Mrs. Robinson and disdainful attitude toward Ben as a function of aging and wisdom.<a href="#cite_note-ebert30-45">[45]</a>

He, along with <a href="Gene_Siskel" title="Gene Siskel">Gene Siskel</a>, gave the film a positive, if unenthusiastic review on the television program <a href="At_the_Movies_with_Ebert_%26_Roeper" class="mw-redirect" title="At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper">Siskel & Ebert</a>.<a href="#cite_note-siskel-46">[46]</a> Furthermore, the film's rating in the <a href="American_Film_Institute" title="American Film Institute">American Film Institute</a> list of the greatest American films fell from seventh in 1997 to 17th in the 2007 update. Lang Thompson, however, argued that "it really hasn't dated much".<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a>

<a href="Review_aggregator" title="Review aggregator">Review aggregator</a> <a href="Rotten_Tomatoes" title="Rotten Tomatoes">Rotten Tomatoes</a> gives the film an approval rating of 86% based on 87 reviews, with an average rating of 8.90/10. The site's consensus reads: "The music, the performances, the precision in capturing the post-college malaise – The Graduate's coming-of-age story is indeed one for the ages."<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> On the similar website, <a href="Metacritic" title="Metacritic">Metacritic</a>, the film holds a score of 83 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a>

The leg-framing scene where Mrs. Robinson seduces Benjamin has been parodied in the <a href="Roseanne" title="Roseanne">Roseanne</a> episode "David and Goliath", which includes a fantasy scene in which Jackie assumes the Bancroft role and attempts to seduce David.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> This scene is also parodied in <a href="The_Simpsons" title="The Simpsons">The Simpsons</a> episode, "<a href="Lisa's_Substitute" title="Lisa's Substitute">Lisa's Substitute</a>", when Mrs. Krabappel tries to seduce Mr. Bergstrom, who was voiced by Dustin Hoffman.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a>

The car Benjamin drives in the movie is an <a href="Alfa_Romeo_Spider#In_The_Graduate" title="Alfa Romeo Spider">Alfa Romeo Spider</a>.

A parody of Hollywood <a href="High_concept" title="High concept">high concept</a> films, Henry describes the plot as Ben and Elaine living in a haunted house in Northern California, with an invalid Mrs. Robinson living in the attic.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a>

<a href="George_Michael" title="George Michael">George Michael</a>'s 1992 song, "<a href="Too_Funky" title="Too Funky">Too Funky</a>," features a clip of the Anne Bancroft lines, "I am not trying to seduce you... Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?", as an intro of the song, and is repeated during the final crescendo.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a>

In conjunction with the film's 25th anniversary home video release, alternative rock band <a href="The_Lemonheads" title="The Lemonheads">The Lemonheads</a> recorded a <a href="Punk_rock" title="Punk rock">punk</a>-style cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson".<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> The music video includes scenes from the film.

The film <a href="Kingpin_(1996_film)" title="Kingpin (1996 film)">Kingpin</a> parodied the leg-framed shot, showing <a href="Woody_Harrelson" title="Woody Harrelson">Woody Harrelson</a> framed by his landlady's leg,<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> and features an excerpt of "The Sound of Silence" after Harrelson's character has sex with the landlady to make up for back rent.
