All the Presidents Men
All the Presidents Men
An account of the events following the Watergate break-in as reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein track the burglars to the White House. A significant event in the rebirth of investigative reporting and the free press. Redford and Hoffman play the dynamic duo in a deliberate low-key manner for the sake of realsim and faithfulness to the actual events.
Authentic to the Washington Post's waste paper, the film is a remarkable distillation of the original book. Director Allen J. Pakula transforms a drab series of events into a tense documentarylike drama. Thursday 30 March 5.00 pm.
