Ground-breaking

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2003)

And you kinda had to be around in '67 to realize just how ground-breaking this movie was. Lots of new issues not yet addressed by a major film. Bancroft as the bored, aged manipulator and Hoffman as the innocent babe play off each other very effectively. I think this film ages so well that if it was released today it would be accepted without missing a beat.
