An explanation for the reason that Mrs. Robinson was attracted to Benjamin in The Graduate could be that she was longing for something that she could not have, and wanted to be with someone younger.
In the film 'The Graduate' Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, at a loose end after college, is seduced by a woman twice his age: cold-as-ice friend of the family Mrs. Robinson (played by Anne Bancroft). So its understandable that Benjamin's dream girl (played by Katherine Ross) is aghast when she finds out he's been sleeping with... her mother.
"Mrs. Robinson" is a song written by Paul Simon and first performed by Simon and Garfunkel. When released as a single, it hit number one in the U.S., their second hit after "The Sound of Silence". An early version of the song appeared in the motion picture The Graduate (1967) and its subsequent soundtrack, while the complete song debuted on their album Bookends(1968). The song earned the duo a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1969.The Beatles did record their cover of Mrs Robinson after Simon and Garfunkel in the Beatles album Volume 1.
