A Primeira Noite de um Homem (The Graduate - 1967) é um filme que marcou época. Ousado, contava a história do jovem Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) que se envolvia com a vizinha mais madura e casada, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) e, em seguida, se apaixonava por sua filha, Elaine (Katherine Ross).
O filme perde muito de sua graça, se assistido hoje. Ficou anacrônico. É um "cult", para cinéfilos.
Abaixo, a cena em que Benjamin fala: "Mrs Robinson, You are trying to seduce me, aren't you?"

Mas as músicas de Simon e Garfunkel embalaram uma geração de nova-iorquinos e sobreviveram ao filme.
Destaque para as duas principais: "The Sound of Silence" e "Mrs. Robinson".

Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools said I,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said,
the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
(Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
