Charles Gordon had intended to play Benn, but the reason the deal was not reached was the disagreement on salary.
When filming the scene where Hoffman and Anne Bancroft met for the first time in a hotel room, Hoffman deliberately touched Bancroft's chest. Director Mike Nicholas laughed when he saw it behind the camera, Hoffman also laughed, and then Hoffman walked to the corner and hit the wall with his head hard, trying to stop laughing. Nicholas thought this was very interesting, so this paragraph remained in the movie.
Although Mrs. Robinson should be many years older than Benn in the film, the actual age difference between Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman is less than 6 years.
Some scenes that Benn shot at Berkeley were actually shot at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
When Elaine followed Ben to his dark room, he made her scream. Some tenants were standing behind the landlord in the doorway. Someone said, "Should I call the police? I'll go to the police." This man It's Richard Dreyfus.
There is a cover picture in this movie: Dustin Hoffman is behind the background, and Mrs. Robinson’s legs stretched forward in the front of the picture. The leg in the photo is actually not of Anne Bancroft, but of a model.
The scene of Benn hitting his fist in the church is actually the result of a compromise with the church pastor. During the rehearsal, Benn smashed his fist on a piece of fragile glass, which was a gift from others to the church. The pastor was very angry and threatened to throw everyone out.
