Turman found a copy of The Graduate, and thought highly enough of the story that he made a movie he considered to be 90-percent faithful to the book.
But Turman and director Mike Nichols made one key adaptation, changing the Braddocks from WASP-y blonde characters into a dark-haired, more ethnic-looking family.

I think it was some satirical paper of the time ''Punch'' ...don't quote me on that, but whatever it was it had some hilarious illustrations![]()
