   (New Nichols bio):   
      
   - The following year The Graduate—written by Buck Henry, who would become a   
   regular Nichols collaborator and life-long friend— shattered the remnants of   
   the PCA. It did so with a handful of other pictures released in 1967,   
   including Point Blank (John    
   Boorman) and Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn). These character-driven, European   
   influenced features included violence and sexuality, and, most significantly,   
   moral ambiguity. Films with these elements would not have been able to find   
   distribution in    
   mainstream theaters just a few years prior. The very subject matter of The   
   Graduate would have been deemed “un-filmable” by the PCA. Indeed, the   
   possibilities of U.S. cinema were transformed by the commercial success of   
   films such as Virginia Woolf    
   and The Graduate.
