ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN
June 5, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Esquire, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This 1976 movie arrived when I was a graduate school student, studying both journalism and education. After the excitement and idealism brilliantly presented in this film version of the Washington Post Watergate reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, journalism won – at least for a few decades. Alan J. Pakula directed, William Goldman wrote the screenplay, and Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman played the roles of the reporters, who did all this digging without either cellphones or computers. What a movie. And what supporting performances, from Hal Holbrook and Jason Robards to Jane Alexander and Stephen Collins.
