The Graduate is a 1967 American comedy-drama motion picture directed by Mike Nichols. It is based on the 1963 novel The Graduate by Charles Webb, who wrote it shortly after graduating from Williams College. The screenplay was by Buck Henry, who makes a cameo appearance as a hotel clerk, and Calder Willingham. The film tells the story of Benjamin Braddock (played by Dustin Hoffman), a recent university graduate with no well-defined aim in life, who is seduced by an older woman, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), and then proceeds to fall in love with her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross).
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 #7 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list in 1998. However, when AFI revised the list in 2007, the film was moved to #17.
Adjusted for inflation, the film is #21 on the list of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada.

Adrian Movie Reviews: THE GRADUATE (1967)
If you had a chance to leave
And take some time without me
How far would you go
How long until you know
I've been waiting patiently
For your heart and body
All the things we'd love to be
And you'll stay with me
Let's take a walk on Saturday
Let's find a place to get away
We don't get down in front
We never get what we want
Show me something new
Tell me what to do
We don't get down in front
We never get what we want
Lay down right now
Let's go around with claims to beat
It's now hard for me
You're impossible to beat
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround yourself in me
Oh yeah, on our walk on Saturday
You said you might not stay, hey
If you had a chance to see
How your life would look with love for someone constantly
Would it still be me
Lay down right now
Let's go around with claims to beat
It's now hard for me
You're impossible to beat
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround yourself in me
