An Absolute Classic.

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2000)

Being a college student in the late 60's certainly impacted my reaction to this movie. The first time I saw it I was in love. Certainly with Elaine Robinson - that's a given. But also with bumbling Benjamin, who personified the out of control life so many were facing. Add an astonishing performance from Anne Bancroft. The Academy robbed her for sure.
But the key is a miraculous job by director Mike Nichols. His Oscar could not have been more appropriate.
An absolute must see. I own the letter-box (also a must).
