"Bejamin... would you like to seduce you?"
Benjamin Braddock wants to be bad. So the college boy with a sold-gold future revolts against his life of Suburban Hell. And when his parents' friend Mrs Robinson strips naked in front of him and offers to teach him the things he never learnt at school, it seems an affair with an "Older Woman" could give him the adult education he's been looking for...

I enjoyed seeing this movie years - more like decades - ago. The combination of Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock and the fantastic score performed by Simon and Garfunkel, made this a hit for me and I was looking forward to revisiting this story in audio.
