All the President’s Men (1976)
In the week of Trump’s second impeachment, here’s a timely reminder of the investigation that led to Nixon’s resignation back in 1974. Coming up on its 45th birthday, Alan J. Pakula’s conspiracy thriller is an enthralling dramatisation of the Washington Post’s investigation into the break-in at the Watergate offices. Many Hollywood films of the Watergate era were dyed in disillusionment and paranoia, including Pakula’s own The Parallax View (1974), but All the President’s Men was the first to tackle the scandal head on. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman bring starry clout as the Post’s reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and it was Redford himself who’d bought the rights to their book and helped bring it to the screen. Long before Spotlight (2015), the results set a high bar for the investigative journalism movie. It’s a film of forensic attention to detail, even down to recreating a desk-for-desk replica of the Post’s offices after the newspaper denied the right to film there.
