It’s 1949. World War II is over, but it has a way of haunting people for years to come.<\/p>\n

Gordon Sandalwood suspects his wife Edith is hiding something from him, and he asks Denver private investigator Dewey Webb to find out what. Dewey, toughened by his own war experiences, reluctantly takes the case, certain it will lead to nothing. But when he sees Edith rendezvous with a mysterious man, Dewey realizes his assumptions might be wrong. As he digs deeper to identify the stranger, he turns up secrets that reach back into the war, and as he unravels a web of deceit, he discovers who has the most to gain, and the most to lose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mrs. Robinson, you\u2019re trying to seduce me. Aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

When\u00a0The Graduate<\/i>\u00a0premiered in December 1967, its filmmakers had only modest expectations for what seemed to be a small, sexy art-house comedy adapted from an obscure first novel by an eccentric twenty-four-year-old. There was little indication that this offbeat story\u2014a young man just out of college has an affair with one of his parents\u2019 friends and then runs off with her daughter\u2014would turn out to be a monster hit, with an extended run in theaters and seven Academy Award nominations.<\/p>\n

The film catapulted an unknown actor, Dustin Hoffman, to stardom with a role that is now permanently engraved in our collective memory. While turning the word\u00a0plastics<\/i>\u00a0into shorthand for soulless work and a corporate, consumer culture,\u00a0The Graduate<\/i>\u00a0sparked a national debate about what was starting to be called \u201cthe generation gap.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After almost sixty years as an actor, William Shatner has become one of the most beloved entertainers in the world. And it seems as if Shatner is everywhere.

It was the original\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/i>series, and later its films, that made Shatner instantly recognizable, called by name—or at least by Captain Kirk’s name—across the globe. But Shatner neither began nor has ended his career with that role. From the very start, he took his skills as an actor and put them to use wherever he could. He straddled the classic world of the theater and the new world of television, whether stepping in for Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare’s\u00a0Henry V\u00a0<\/i>or staring at “something on the wing” in a classic episode of\u00a0The Twilight Zone.\u00a0<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
