The Graduate is a 1967 American comedy-drama film 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 is by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, who appears in the film as a hotel clerk.
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 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 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.
With the figures adjusted for inflation, the film is number 22 on the list of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada. When figures are adjusted for inflation, population and moviegoing trends (how many tickets the average American bought in the year of release), it is the second-most popular film of all time.

The Sound Of Silence, 1964 By Simon & Garfunkel. The Graduate, 1967 By Mike Nichols
Leave all your clothes buried in the sand
Who knows when we'll be coming back again
Come on in, the water's getting cold
See if you sink or swim or float
When the tide came in, we tried to act surprised
What could the ocean want with the things that we left behind
Swimming back to land and I realized
It was the only time that year I felt alive
We booked a one way going overseas
Feels like I'm living someone else's dream
I tried my best to keep from turning back
I'm scared you may have been my better half
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
The story ends the same as it began
I never know when I'll be coming around again
Staring at the sand I realized
It was the only time that year that I felt alive
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
I'm on the edge about to choke
