He starts an unexpected sexual relationship with the much older wife of his father’s business partner, only to fall for her daughter as well.

A true classic that still feels as fresh as ever, Mike Nichols’s prototypical coming-of-age drama pinpoints the desires and angst of a new generation about to enter adulthood. Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft bring it to life, merging with their indelible characters to create new cinematic icons.
