Excellent stuff again Tom. I think you can still see echoes of Hoffman in Eddie Redmayne’s character in The Trial of the Chicago 7. In fact, that whole film is a goldmine!

Great article Tom! The style in the graduate is so well executed. Hoffman’s style also shines through Kramer Vs Kramer albeit not strictly Ivy.

Couldn’t agree more with all of that Tom; I realise now that when I saw The Graduate - decades ago - and really loved his style, Ivy wasn’t on my radar as much as it is these days. It was just a great look. For me, it’s the perfect film. I need to check out A Rainy Day In NY now, so, cheers!

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed reading. I really enjoyed A Rainy Day.. Manhattan is one of my favourites so it’s great to have a bit of a modern homage.
