All the President's Men- thirty years later and still intriguing


It is no surprise that All the President’s Men (1976 by Warner Bros.) received eight Oscar nominations for the film. Closely following two journalists who covered the Watergate scandal of 1972; it has kept viewers at the edge of their seat for more than thirty years.

In the film, Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein refuse to be satisfied with the amount of information they uncover. Woodward, (Robert Redford) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) study public records, use every connection they have ever had, all to find out the truth to this seemingly menial break-in.

By “following the money” and paying neurotic attention to details, they discovered the story every journalist dreams of writing.
