The Graduate is a 1968 album of songs and music from the soundtrack of Mike Nichols' movie The Graduate.It includes five songs from the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, including "Mrs. Robinson", a work in progress which Simon adapted to fit the movie, along with several instrumental pieces by Dave Grusin.
