The Graduate is Different When You're Older Than Mrs. Robinson Was

The Graduate dropped in 1969 from Mike Nichols on the cutting edge of New Hollywood. The story of a recent college grad and an affair that shapes the transitional years into his adulthood, and his lover's middle age. As iconic as a movie can be, Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft starred in a movie that's as relevant now as it was in the aftermath of the Hays Code, and on the cusp of a new style of filmmaking that would define a generation of artists. Clint, Cal, and Nick talk about revisiting this classic in their own moments of change, how an old school cinematographer was the best way to break new ground, and why the movie hits WAY different when you realize you're older than Mrs. Robinson.
