Classic Movie Club & Potluck: The Graduate
Details
Let’s meet at my place each month to watch a classic movie from the American Film Institute’s top 100 best movies of all time. I'll provide some popcorn, but this is also a potluck so plan on bringing a dish to share, a bottle of wine, or anything else. Details on the exact location will be sent a couple days before the event.
The April movie is The Graduate.
Summary: The action is mainly seen through the eyes of Benjamin Braddock, a confused twenty-one year old, who is worried about his future but who does not simply want to follow the commercial path of his affluent family and their friends. His life becomes complicated when he is embroiled in an affair with an older woman, Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner. It becomes impossible when he falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine.
