A PRIMEIRA NOITE DE UM HOMEM (THE GRADUATE, USA, 1967) - One of the most beloved American films of all time, The
Graduate earned Mike Nichols a best director Oscar, brought the music of
Simon & Garfunkel to a wider audience, and introduced the world to a young
actor named Dustin Hoffman. Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a
clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles
Webb), The Graduate had the kind of cultural impact that comes along
only once in a generation. The final sequence with Hoffman and Katherine Ross,
both on a bus, is one of the most remarkable in the film history, simple as it
is.
