Trivia about Movie Taglines

Answer: The Graduate

Benjamin Braddock, when "The Graduate" begins, has finished college and has no idea what to do with his life (in spite of advice like "Plastics" from a family friend). Choosing inertia, he spends his days floating in his parents' pool and he drifts into an affair with the much older Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). It's only when he falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter (Katherine Ross) that he takes charge of his life and future--when the movie ends, Benjamin and Elaine are riding a bus into the unknown, but they're doing it together.

The American Film Institute ranked "The Graduate" #7 on its list of greatest films of all time. Mike Nichols won Best Director for the picture, and stars Dustin Hoffman, Bancroft and Ross were all nominated for Academy Awards as well.

This 'teen-kill' movie, is the first in a trilogy, that sadly loses its appeal and effect after the first.
