The Graduate

Ben Hur

An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers

his entire life is actually a TV show.

The Graduate is a dramedy about a

college graduate, Benjamin Braddock

(Dustin Hoffman) who has an affair

with his father's partner's wife,

Mrs. Robinson (Ann Bancroft), and then

falls in love with their daughter Elaine.

When a Jewish prince is betrayed

and sent into slavery by a Roman friend,

he regains his freedom and comes back

for revenge.
