BY STAFF WRITERS
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966): Nichols made his screen directing debut with this searing adaptation of Edward Albee’s play about a bickering couple (Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton) and their relatively innocent dinner guests (George Segal, Sandy Dennis). Taylor and Dennis won Academy Awards.
“The Graduate” (1967): The one- of-a-kind classic that largely made Nichols’ career, this comedy-drama – which earned him an Oscar – boasts Simon & Garfunkel tunes and holds up beautifully. Dustin Hoffman became an immediate star as Benjamin, the nervous college grad who falls prey to the wily Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), then falls for her daughter (Katharine Ross).
“Catch-22” (1970): Alan Arkin leads a superb all-star cast in Nichiols’ version of the Joseph Heller novel about a World War II soldier striving to be declared insane and, thus, dismissed from service.
“Carnal Knowledge” (1971): The relationships among four people (Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Candice ‘The Graduate’ still earns top marks Bergen, Art Garfunkel) form an BY JAY BOBBIN from which Benjamin hails (the standing-minded parents emotional roller coaster over many Benjamin Braddock forever scuba suit in the pool!), Nichols to Murray Hamilton as Mr. years. will be a little worried about his and screenwriters Buck Henry Robinson and Norman Fell as future. – who also has a great cameo a landlord who simply doesn’t “Silkwood” (1983): Meryl Streep is as a hotel desk clerk – and both powerful and heartbreaking in And for good reason.
