When Does the Film "The Graduate" (1967) Take Place?

"The Graduate" is a romantic-comedy film written by Calder Willingham with Buck Henry [adapting "The Graduate" (1963) by Charles Webb] that released December 21st, 1967. So when is "The Graduate" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1967? AD 


We know this because the Robinson family is watching “The Newlywed Game”, a television game show on the air from July 11th, 1966 AD to December 20th, 1974 AD with revivals in 1977 AD, 1984 AD, and 2009 AD. So it is most likely between 1966 AD and 1974 AD. 

Benjamin Braddock is gifted a 1966 model Alfa Romeo Spider convertible automobile, which only became available in 1966 AD. So it must be during or after 1966 AD.
