“Here’s to you, Mrs Robinson….” Simon and Garfunkel’s famous song is one of the many delights of this 1967 classic. 

It is the movie that made a star of Dustin Hoffman, and earned director Mike Nichols an Oscar.

Hoffman plays an aimless 21 year old college graduate who is seduced Ann Bancroft’s older married woman, only to fall for her daughter. In reality, Hoffman was touching 30 and he and Bancroft were actually only 5 years apart in age, but the casting works.  

I’ve always liked the ambiguous (and subsequently much parodied) ending – having eloped with Mrs Robinson’s daughter from her wedding, the two of them jump on a bus laughing, only to then sit silently as if not knowing what to do next as reality gradually sets in.

This is a slightly battered Spanish one-sheet which I sold last year.
