The Graduate, the classic 1968 Mike Nichols (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) coming-of-age romantic melodrama ("'Benjamin do you find me undesirable?' 'Oh, no Mrs. Robinson. I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends.'"; "This is Benjamin. He's a little worried about his future."; "'Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me...aren't you?'"; "Screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry"; "Songs by Paul Simon performed by Simon and Garfunkel"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a college graduate who becomes involved with the wife of his father's business partner and then romances her daughter) starring Anne Bancroft (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Mrs. Robinson), Dustin Hoffman (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Benjamin Braddock), Katharine Ross (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Elaine Robinson), William Daniels (as Mr. Braddock), Murray Hamilton (as Mr. Robinson), Elizabeth Wilson (as Mrs. Braddock), Buck Henry (who wrote the screenplay, as the "Room Clerk"), Brian Avery (as Carl), Norman Fell (as Mr. McCleery), and a young Richard Dreyfuss (in a bit part, but he does have two lines!)

Important Added Info: Note that the domestic release of this movie prior to the Academy Awards was handled by Embassy Pictures (the non-U.S. release was handled by United Artists). There are two styles of pre-Awards one-sheets that each have a large blank section at the top (we strongly suspect that the producers were certain the movie would win multiple Academy Awards, and they left that area so they could quickly print new posters referencing the Academy Awards right after the ceremony). But in addition to those pre-Awards one-sheets with large image areas, Embassy also made this reviews one-sheet, prior to the Academy Awards, but after Mike Nichols had won the New York Film Critics Best Director award, and after the first critics had seen the movie, and the poster references that. Since the Film Critic Awards were held in January and the Oscars were held at the start of April, this poster could only have been used during that brief time. This is an extremely rare poster, far more rare than the other pre-awards one-sheets for this movie. We have only auctioned four examples of this poster, and only two in the past 16 years!

Condition: very good. The poster has very light fold and border wear and a few tiny faint smudges along portions of the lower horizontal fold and lower vertical foldline. It has a slight crease to the right of the vertical foldline in between the center and bottom crossfold. The very rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays quite well!
