The Graduate is a 1967 American film directed by Mike Nichols, starring Dustin Hoffman as a directionless recent college graduate who is drawn into an affair with an older married family friend, Mrs. Robinson, and then falls for her daughter. The film paired its story of youthful alienation and rebellion against parental expectation with a prominent Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack, and its visual style and subject matter are widely cited as emblematic of the shift toward the New Hollywood filmmaking of the late 1960s and 1970s. The Graduate was a major critical and commercial success and won the Academy Award for Best Director.
