Turns out Dustin Hoffman somehow managed to play an autistic character two decades before his famous performance of Rain Man (and one that’s probably more accurate for the higher-functioning types):
His bewilderment at Mrs. Robinson’s fear of being alone just sells it. Well, that and his overwhelmed reaction to his homecoming party, which isn’t in this clip.
And between this, Taxi Driver, and Paris, Texas, Mary and Max’ place in the Best Films About Autism list is seriously slipping.
Also confirmed, we do get to see titty in the scene where Mrs. Robinson corners him in a room while naked. I don’t know if they’re all that appealing-looking (they’re oddly-shaped, with large areolas, and one hell of a tan line) or if they even belonged to Anne Bancroft, but they’re there (16:37 of the Criterion Blu-Ray edition.)
