'The Graduate,' Present at the Creation

Is Mrs. Robinson really trying to seduce young Benjamin? Is there really "a great future in plastics"? Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and a Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack made The Graduate an unforgettable coming-of-age movie. On Morning Edition, NPR's Don Lee has the story of the classic 1967 film as part of the Present at the Creation series.
