    (1967) “You’re trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson... Aren’t you?” Student unrest in bourgeois clothing, as Dustin Hoffman’s Benjamin Braddock, adrift after college, is craftily seduced by a woman of his parents’ generation: Anne Bancroft’s icily-assured friend-of-the-family Mrs. Robinson (actually only six years Hoffman’s senior). So it’s understandable that Ben’s dream girl Katharine Ross is a bit startled to learn that he’s been sleeping with... her mother. Arguably, no other movie of the 60s — not even Bonnie and Clyde or Easy Rider — turned counterculture angst into popular culture. The biggest box office surprise of the decade, Oscar-winner for second-time-out director Nichols (among seven nominations), and Hoffman’s star-making breakout role, with Simon & Garfunkel’s score starting a new trend in soundtrack music and one anthologizable moment after another: the pool-side graduation party packed with advice-offering adults (“Plastics!”); that famous leg shot (see photo, above); the jittery hotel rendezvous, co-screenwriter Buck Henry’s matter-of-factly querying, “Are you here for an affair, sir?”; the interrupted wedding, with the crucifix crossbar; and the lingering “what happens now?” close-up on the bus. Adapted by Henry and Calder Willingham from the Charles Webb novel. – Film Forum, NYC
