One of those movies I loved as a kid that no one my age at the time had even heard of or would ever consider watching (a lot of Woody Allen films would land in the same category around that time as well). The broader themes and some of the humor surely went over my head but what my young brain really clung too was Dustin Hoffman's performance, the amazing cinematography and that Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack. I remember when I stopped collecting VHS and made the transition to DVD this was one of the first movies I grabbed to start my collection and I watched it many times. All these years later I can safely say all the things I enjoyed as a 12 year old still land at 40, although the same 3 S&G songs playing the whole time did start to get grating. The 4K looks amazing too, much better then that old DVD from all those years ago. Here's to you Mrs. Robinson!

This movie is one of the best Dustin Hoffman movies ever made. It is timeless in its philosophy. Anne Bancroft, and Katherine Ross were excellent in it as well.
May be a Tv version, certainly seems to have less nipples (i.e. none) than how I remember it.
