In the Watergate Building lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drive a U.S. President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts denials and discouragement. All the President's Men is their story. Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the Woodward/Bernstein book the film won four 1976 Academy Awards (Best Supporting Actor/Jason Robards Adaptation Screenplay/William Goldman Art Direction and Sound). It also explores a working newspaper where the mission is to get the story and get it right.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569734012 Manufacturer No: 73401

Amazing Movie!

This is just a stunning film. It builds without special effects or a booming soundtrack and loud noises. Better than that it is a true story about a couple of heros. It's hard to believe in 2007 when news reporters and newspapers were so important and independent, that they could bring down an entire presidency but it happened. I doubt with corporate ownership and the lack of readership for newspapers in general if it could ever happen again. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are in top form as Woodward and Bernstein, two young reporters with nothing to lose and everything to lose at the same time. They have the balls to pursue an unpromising news story and lead it directly to the White House. Very exciting and moving. Where are our hero reporters now a days?

...or Watergate: How two reporters brought down a President

"All the President's Men" is a superb account of Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's tenacious investigation into the Watergate break-in that would eventually lead to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

Director Alan J. Pakula uses the spareness that he brought to "The Parallax View" two years earlier to create a sense of paranoia and evoke the awesome machine that Woodward and Berstein were up against.

Brilliant use is made of sound and voices and the acting is superb even in the smaller parts. This is an exciting film even when you know the result beforehand.

Buy This Even If You Have An Older Version.

This DVD is worth buying for the voice-over commentary by Robert Redford alone. You will not be disappointed.

All the President's Men

For those who forgot about the Watergate era, and those who were too young or unborn, this is a recommended history lesson.

Memories

A good movie about the unfolding of the Watergate scandal. I bought this movie to show to my classroom... but their generation was easily bored because of the lack of show-effects...
