 Paul Simon (I) (qv) wrote two songs for the film that director  Mike Nichols (I) (qv) rejected: "Punkys Dilemma" and "A Hazy  Shade of Winter". Both appear on the Simon and Garfunkel "Bookends"  album. The song "Mrs. Robinson" was not written for the movie; it  was the working title of a song Simon was then writing (originally  called "Mrs. Roosvelt", and about Eleanor Roosevelt (qv)) and  Nichols decided to include it. Simon and Garfunkel only sing the  chorus but none of the verses of the later hit song.
