Elaine!! Bring Back My Plane!!

3 min read

Do you remember near the the end of "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman finally realizes he's in love with Kathryn Ross and wants to be with her?  He jumps into his Alfa Romeo and races to the church where she is about to be married.

Ben (Hoffman's character) gets to the church, runs up the stairs and spots Elaine (Kathryn Ross) at the alter.  He's too late - she has just gotten married. It's too much - he erupts in despair.
