Summary of this DVD... | ||
The story of a young college graduate who has no idea what he wants to do. He is seduced by a friend of his parents (Mrs. Robinson) and has a summer-long affair with her. Then he meets her daughter and suddenly finds purpose in his life as he falls in love with her daughter, Elaine. | ||
This type of DVD is good for... | ||
anyone who wants to know about the way things were in the 1960s for a college graduate in suburbia. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
Dustin Hoffman. I have always loved him since the first time I saw this movie. I saw it a long time ago, but it sure stands the test of time. He is very cute in this. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Katherine Ross as Elaine. Her acting is bad news, but everyone else is good. | ||
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to... | ||
watch Dustin Hoffman in something else and I will. I am thinking maybe Tootsie. | ||
This DVD made me feel... | ||
like I was back in the 1960s and 70s. | ||
The cast of this DVD... | ||
is mostly very funny. Katherine Ross is the exception. Anne Bancroft is excellent as Mrs. Robinson. Buck Henry has a hilarious cameo as the hotel desk clerk. | ||
I recommend this DVD because... | ||
I loved watching every minute of it. A bonus is the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack. I love Scarborough fair and Sounds of Silence especially. And, of course, the song, April, Come She Will. I had forgotten that song and now I can't get it out of my head. Love this movie! | ||
