It's remarkable how tight this screenplay is. Every scene moves and is pivotal to the story, yet they take their time with the comedy. It's one of the smartest and funniest films ever made. The film represents much more than just a coming-of-age story: it's a movie for a generation of rebellion in the 60's.

Dustin Hoffman was a revelation in his role and Mike Nichols brings major attention to the brilliant mis-en-scene and pioneering soundtrack. This was one of the crucial films that kick-started the second Golden Age of Hollywood, capturing counter-culture, alienation and anti-conformity.

It's also extremely sexually suggestive and taboo for its time.
