A graduate (Dustin Hoffman) feels alienated from his parents' expectations; he has an affair with a middle-aged neighbour (Anne Bancroft), then decides he prefers her daughter (Katharine Ross).

| Acclaimed on release as the definitive statement about the generation gap, this now looks like a fairly tame sex comedy with a facile view of the older, wealth-creating generation, a misogynistic view of middle-aged sexuality, and a highly unconvincing ending. It's still notable, however, for Dustin Hoffman's funniest screen performance, Anne Bancroft's sex appeal (which totally overshadows her daughter's), and Simon and Garfunkel's (over-repetitive) score. Robert Surtees's photography was Oscar-nominated. |
