MUMBAI:
Shemaroo Entertainment releases award winning, evergreen, classic
'The Graduate'. This film completes 40 years this year and
is still alive amidst contemporary movies.
The
essence of The Graduate is that, the film is not confined
to a particular era and will never fade out from the minds of audiences.
Directed
by Mike Nichols, the movie is a romantic comedy starring Dustin
Hoffman, Katharine Ross and Anne Bancroft among others.
 The
Graduate has won the 1968 Academy Awards, USA and Mike Nichols
has also won the Oscar Best Director. The film is also the winner
of 1969 BAFTA awards, Best Direction and Best Film.
The
story revolves around a college graduate Benjamin Braddock who is
trapped into an affair with the wife of his father's business partner,
Mrs. Robinson. Having accepted an offer of sex from this older woman,
the affair is well and good until the protagonist is pushed to go
out with Robinsons' daughter Elaine and falls in love with her.
Certainly
an affair to remember, which comes back to haunt Ben, when he finds
himself falling for Elaine, Mrs. Robinson's daughter.
Dustin
Hoffman shows why he is one of the late twentieth century's leading
actors with a splendid performance as the often bewildered Ben Braddock.
Leading
lady Anne Bancroft is a smouldering cauldron of sexual prowess as
Mrs. Robinson, while Kate Ross plays the naïve and beautiful,
innocent Elaine.
Needless
to say, a must watch by one and all!
