The Graduate: Difference between revisions

* [[Creator Cameo]]: Buck Henry, who co-wrote the film's screenplay, appears as the hotel desk clerk.

* [[Cringe Comedy]]: A whole lot of it for Ben.

* [[Disposable Fiance]]: That blond kid. {{spoiler|Elaine was actually already married to him, but he was still pretty disposable in the end.}}

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Ben does this toward the end, during that Berkeley-to-Pasadena-to-Berkeley-to-Santa Barbara shuttle. If, as it appears, he did the whole thing on California Highway 1, that's ''1,300 miles'' in less than 24 hours, much of it on a winding two-lane road along seaside cliffs. The shorter, safer alternatives, Interstate 5 and U.S. 101, were still under construction in 1967, and if available, would only have cut about 300 miles off the overall distance.
