Mike Nichols' The Graduate (1967) is one of Hollywood's greatest romantic comedies and is rightly regarded as a true cinematic classic. Vista (AmeriCorps VISTA), the anti-poverty programme, distributed this special promotional poster as a tie-in with the film. The movie's popularity, the familiar face of Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) and the line "What'll You Do After You Graduate?" were used by Vista as an attempt to gain recruits. Underneath the Vista logo is the tagline "You Can Put Off Plastics For A Year", referring to the famous line said by Mr. McGuire (Walter Brooke) to Benjamin. A simple but effective design which has been conservation linen-backed.
