The first time I saw this movie was back in 1967 upon its release and actually thought it was very good. In fact, my rating at that time would have been at least an 8 I am sure. Fast forward to last night and my wife and I decided to rent The Graduate just for something different and we were both greatly disappointed. What a stupid movie. Oh, there are some excellent actors and not even a bad story line. But the humor was quite dark and perverse with an ending that was anything but romantic or a true love story. I suppose it did reflect the values of the time and even the values of today in some locales but certainly not what most people would deem "normal" I would hope. Oh well, sorry we watched it and wish we had just left it in our memory banks thinking still that it was a good movie.
