Reviews
"Has it really been fifty years since The Graduate snuck up and surprised us with its inventiveness, originality, desperate charm and wit? Beverly Gray's book celebrates the golden anniversary with a spirited and well-researched account of how it all came together and why its legacy endures." --Glenn Frankel, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic "In  Seduced by Mrs. Robinson , Beverly Gray creates a lively, layered recounting of the genesis, production, release, and unique cultural significance of this landmark movie. She brings to it the thorough expertise of a Hollywood insider."  --Kate Buford, author of Native American Son: The Life and Sporting Legend of Jim Thorpe

Synopsis
*An Amazon Best Book of the Month* " Gray] writes smartly and insightfully . . . The book as a whole offers a fascinating look at how this movie tells a timeless story." -- The Washington Post Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you? When The Graduate premiered in December 1967, its filmmakers had only modest expectations for what seemed to be a small, sexy art-house comedy adapted from an obscure first novel by an eccentric twenty-four-year-old. There was little indication that this offbeat story--a young man just out of college has an affair with one of his parents' friends and then runs off with her daughter--would turn out to be a monster hit, with an extended run in theaters and seven Academy Award nominations. The film catapulted an unknown actor, Dustin Hoffman, to stardom with a role that is now permanently engraved in our collective memory. While turning the word plastics into shorthand for soulless work and a corporate, consumer culture, The Graduate sparked a national debate about what was starting to be called "the generation gap." Now, in time for this iconic film's fiftieth birthday, author Beverly Gray offers up a smart close reading of the film itself as well as vivid, never-before-revealed details from behind the scenes of the production--including all the drama and decision-making of the cast and crew. For movie buffs and pop culture fanatics, Seduced by Mrs. Robinson brings to light The Graduate 's huge influence on the future of filmmaking. And it explores how this unconventional movie rocked the late-sixties world, both reflecting and changing the era's views of sex, work, and marriage., *An Amazon Best Book of the Month* "[Gray] writes smartly and insightfully . . .
