Things Mrs. Robinson Doesn’t Want You to Know About ‘The Graduate’

10. Nichols Was a “Wretch”

Though the director is known throughout Hollywood for being a delightful man, Mike Nichols even admits that he was a “wretch” on the set of The Graduate. Apparently, once a day the director reminded his lead actor, Dustin Hoffman, to clean out his nose. He was also not very nice to Katharine Ross while the actress was at work. The crew considered him miserable to work with, and Anne Bancroft was not allowed to see the daily rushes so she wouldn’t find out that Nichols was using lighting techniques to make her look older.
