When Mike Nichols’ classic movie “The Graduate” was first released in 1968, there were two regular One-Sheets. To further complicate things, Embassy Releasing released the movie in the United States, and United Artists released it outside the United States. Both studios issued both styles of One-Sheet, so there are four different original release OneSheets. To further muddy the waters, right after the movie won an Academy Award, new posters were printed with “Academy Award® Winner” added to the area at top. The pre-award One-Sheets from Embassy, especially the line drawing style B, are the most desirable posters from this film.
