Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Lawrence Turman produced The Graduate; this was his attempt to capture similar disaffected male energy, but critics found William far less sympathetic than Benjamin Braddock.
The film bombed so hard it became a rare theatrical release—barely anyone saw it even in 1971, making it a fascinating time capsule of failed 'edgy' comedy.
