ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976) C widescreen138m dir: Alan J. Pakula

w/Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, Hal Holbrook, Jason Robards Jr., Jane Alexander, Meredith Baxter Birney, Ned Beatty, Stephen Collins

From Variety's review of the film: "Some ingenious direction by Alan J. Pakula and scripting by William Goldman remove much of the inherent dramatic lethargy in any story of reporters running down a story.

"Thus, All the President's Men, from the Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein book about their experiences uncovering the Watergate coverup for The Washington Post, emerges close to being an American Z. Robert Redford and especially Dustin Hoffman excel in their starring roles.

"Besides the stars, many of the featured players contribute mightily. As Deep Throat, the official who assisted the reporters in filtering out the facts, Hal Holbrook is outstanding; this actor, herein in near-total shadow, is as compelling as he is in virtually every role played. Jason Robards, as Post executive editor Ben Bradlee, provides an excellent characterization, backed up strongly by Jack Warden and Martin Balsam as senior editors."

The film was awarded four Oscars: Best Supporting Actor (Robards), Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, and Sound. It was also nominated for Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actress (Alexander), and Editing.
