It was the last animated feature film to be personally supervised by Disney himself before his untimely death, the year prior.

''The Graduate'' was one of some films released in 1967 that broke many taboos that had not been shown previously in American cinema, and more significantly, it represents as the bridge between traditional (pre-1967) and groundbreaking (1967 and onward) achievements filmmaking. * December 26 — The Beatles' ''Magical Mystery Tour'' airs on British television. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1967 in film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
