The Graduate is an astounding piece of late-1960s Hollywood that captures the zeitgeist of anxious youth and generational gaps. Dustin Hoffman’s first major film performance as the titular, wayward Benjamin Braddock shot him to instant stardom and earned his first Oscar © nomination, while Mike Nichols won the Best Director Oscar. © With Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and others coloring the proceedings, The Graduate is an evocative encapsulation of a transitional moment in Hollywood history.
