One of the best movies ever. Never get tired of watching it.
Unfortunately, liberals have absolutely no self-awareness and never reflect over how morality apply to everyone, and not only those they do not like
Same - probably my favorite movie.
As good as Redford and Hoffman were in these roles, Robards was electric.
Also outstanding cinematography and musical score.
Robards was a great actor, whether on. stage, the big screen or television, This is one of his best film performances, and , apart from Bradlee himself, no one, IMHO, ever played him better.
Pure acting legend. Little is more.
Robards did win the Best Supporting Actor this role
@@alexius23 , indeed he did! And the following year he won it again for playing Dashiell Hammett in "Julia".
The kind of responsible reporting we need today.
The very opposite of yellow journalism
Are you willing pay for it or do you want your news for free from the internet?
@@gingerhiser7312We Americans, all deserve this type of reporting. Don't you agree? Why bring up cost right now; I don't think the commenter was meaning price at all. But we do deserve that. It went downhill just as our society's morals got worse. I'm Gen X, idk about you two. But I feel so bad for the younger generations today. My son is 25. And sadly he never knew a society's when we all acted like we did after 9/11.The big difference was, we all acted much better in those days, we didn't need a 9/11 to make us kinder again. God please heal and bless America! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Wow. That one comment really got me a thinking here. Yes, we did pay well for excellent reporting back then. We paid for great newspapers, articles, authors & books too. ❤
@@gingerhiser7312 The truth should always be free. Today it's all lies, regardless if it's free or not. And the democrat media are all reporting the news using the same words. That's collusion. Something is very wrong with that.
As a younger guy, my favorite part of this movie is seeing what an office looked like in the 70s, so cool. Paper everywhere, typewriter noise, phones ringing and cigarette smoke and the fact that you ring a business phone number and a real person answers immediately (as opposed to an automated voice menu). Such a different time.
I miss those days .
I still prefer a manual typewriter LOL
I taught high school journalism for 18 years. The first two three days of class every semester were devoted to watching this movie.
Great seventies picture. One of the all time great journalism flicks. William Goldman deserved his Oscar for best adapted screenplay. Also winning for best sound and best supporting actor for Jason Robards.
The acting in this movie is so naturally and casually great. Even just the scene on the patio between Hoffman and the assistant feels so real, as if it was the real moment being recorded unknowingly.
It felt like there was a bit of ad libbing going on, which added to the realism.
A great example of 1) how difficult and painstaking real reporting was back in the early 70s, and 2) a reminder that a paper trail is still the best way to keep records of everything. Digital stuff is easy as hell, but also easy to delete. Paper and a scribbled quote is (almost) forever.
wonderful stone-age equipment in office. Mechanical typewriters, big landline phones, paper files...
I kinda miss 1970ies
I worked for a county attorney ten years ago and as of then all these things were still intact and in use with the addition of PCs
I got an "office" job in 1989, where we wrote letters by hand and gave them to a staff of secretaries using type writers, when we got the letter back again we had to check for typing errors etc, so there could be several rounds, one secretary had a type writer with the possibility to correct, but only 5 letters, so I had to sit and pay attention while she wrote, I think it was early 90'ties, 1992, or 1993, we got computers and electronic mail, (lotus notes) and one of the engineers totally refused to communicate via email, and if he got a little too many emails he simply deleted them all, one day he declared to the whole office, "if anyone wanted to come in contact with him, they had to write a letter!"
Me, as a relatively young man then was just sitting and looking at him, still remember
My father worked for NACA (forerunner of NASA) in 1947. He got in trouble once for typing up something he needed in a hurry. Engineers didn't type, secretaries did the typing.
The camera withdrawing up the rotunda is a great shot as Bob and Carl go through the library cards
One of these guy's had a college education, one of these guy's did not. The non educated guy acts completely from instinct. It's like he can smell it. He knows something isn't right and he just follows it. The other guy has this formal magnetism that is just electrifying to experience. It's such an amazing example of how these two total opposites can balance each other to the benefit of everyone. And Robards pushing them to be and do better than what they're doing. This is such a beautiful film.
In the film, I always had the feeling Robards saw himself in Woodward and Bernstein and that maybe he wished he were a younger man and working as a reporter alongside them. He knew they were onto something huge.
Today's Washington Post bears no resemblance to the newspaper being depicted in this film.
Now, commonly referred to as The Washington Compost.
Don't you think that you would have said the same thing in the 1970's? Woodward and Bernstein came under a lot of criticism and were accused of lying by the White House.
Thank Jeff Bezos.
"JOURNALISM" today is pretty much crap - just opinion and innuendo - the days of Cronkite are sadly long ago.
@@Daniel-sh3os They were real journalists, at least.
"I DON'T MIND WHAT YOU DID. I MIND THE WAY YOU DID IT." That sums the whole thing up in two sentences.
This is basically what police work is dogged determination and pursuit of evidence, but somehow this is more thrilling to watch than any CSI ever was
The OG CSI was pretty awesome in the first few seasons, and started to get weak as the years went on.
Wasn’t E Howard Hunt in Dallas the day President Kennedy was killed. Something he denied when he was a guest on Larry Kings radio show on the Mutual Network. Two great character actors Jason Robards and Jack Warden. Jack played Juror # 7 in Sidney Lumets first film 12 Angry Men and Paul Newman s law partner in Lumets 1982 film The Verdict.
Howard Hunt admitted on his death bed being part of the JFK assassination and that LBJ was the kingpin
he was one of the three "tramps" taken into custody.....there are photos of them and it is said that he is the one making faces , puffing out his cheeks to try to disguise himself.....
@@alpha-omega2362 This is from the "well, he looked a bit like him" school of conspiracy theories.
The 3 tramps were, in fact, according to their arrest records, Gus W. Abrams, Harold Doyle, and John Forrester Gedney.
@@alpha-omega2362 not true
@@lostinamerica2867 ok, thanks for your input.
Amazing film. It also reveals how far we have fallen in 50 yrs.
Movies like this remind me of my job as a tax lawyer. There are some lying POS's in the world, most of whom seemed to be my clients (or, if I was lucky, the opponents of my clients). You develop a sixth sense for when people are hiding something - like a nervousness over some subject matters and not others. You also take contemporaneous notes of everything you say and do.
I always said this scene showed peak 1970s bullpen journalism. Still a reason we need real journalists..
Jason Robards is such a great actor. He pulls this off as if he is the real Ben Bradley
He became the character.
E. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, H.R. Haldemann. Never trust anybody that has initials for their first name.
Never trust a man who parts his hair in the middle or his name on the left.
And Lee as a first or middle name.
J. Edgar Hoover
Never trust anyone named Rob Steele.
JD Vance
It's been more than 40 years that newsrooms were filled with the sound of typewriters
Clacking typewriters and smoking, that was the 1970's newsroom alright.
And the unique aroma of overcooked coffee sludge.
I went out and got a corduroy suit!!😂
I'll pray for you.
I SALUTE YOU!
It doesn't matter that you know the entire story of the Watergate break in. The movie is so well made that it simply doesn't matter. Tight editing and stunning acting across the board just get wrapped up in this mystery like it just happened.
A true classic!
4 Really Good actors in one scene.
Remember when newspapers weren't owned by oligarchs and once pursued justice?
No. They were always owned by oligarchs. Ever hear of Hearst, Pulitzer, Graham?
@@KevinBalch-dt8ot Hey, good point! I'm not being defensive when I say at least those were individuals with their own reps on the line. Now it's corporations with diffused responsibility and 90% of news in this country comes from only 6 mega-corps..
Ben Bradlee was wired in to the CIA and let them use WaPo as a propaganda outlet. He was hardly an objective pursurer of justice.
No
If you actually knew anything about the history of Newspapers or Mass Media, no.
Um dos melhores filmes sobre jornalismo que já assisti.
I love this movie and I love watching the way they dug out the truth. Remarkable!
Love the old newsroom atmosphere. It was full of energy and excitement back then. Nowadays they're so sterile (and empty). It was a time when you HAD TO CHECK AND CONFIRM your sources before any creditable news operation would run with a story. Robarts was great playing the tough editor role as Bradlee. Wonderful movie.
And this is what happens when they don't. czcams.com/video/L1JYHNX8pdo/video.html
Thankfully I have this on DVD. Another great movie that came out the same year this did was "Network". Thank you.
1:56 'The truth is...' walkback by the librarian was chilling.
Every sentence beginning 'The truth is...' was a lie.
Jason Robards is amazing
Great cinematography
They should have gone to the library and found every book about JFK. Take them to the police and see if Hunts fingerprints were on any of them.
It was Edward "Teddy" Kennedy Hund was looking into. The two older brothers were no thread whatsoever, being dead. Although Hunt did forge diplomatic cables to implicate JFK in the assassinations of the South Vietnamese President and his Chief of Secret Police brother.
Like the police are going to do that if no crime has been committed.
@@j.b.delaney3444 It has happened many times. Hunt was a person of interest.
Then again, who gives AF?
@@taze317 There was NO criminal investigation ongoing at the time, and even if there had been, checking books out of the library is not a crime, so no, the cops would have told them to take a hike.
@@j.b.delaney3444 I don't care what you think, Hunt was up to something. Did you even watch the video?
Such a fantastic film! The first time I saw it was in a high school history class and I’m sad to say, I thought it was extremely boring back then. After seeing it as an adult though, I was blown away!
That look at the end said this matter is closed. Two reporters along with several others broke the story and changed the course of American history essentially by just reporting the facts.
I never knew Howard, but I went to school with his younger brother Mike.
I love this movie. The acting is absolutely top-notch.
When you had to hoof it to get the story and verify facts vs today it's the journalist opinion and wishy-washy facts
This is by far the best detectives film ever made
Wow, they were scrambling trying to put a story together. Leads that went nowhere.
As Deep Throat said: Follow the money.
Still relevant advice today. Maybe more so.
The movie i felt had atmosphere. Liked it, loved in fact, Woodward and Bernstine were my heroes, but heros die and to find out the truth was to see how the wool was pulled over our eyes. 😢
The Library of Congress Shot & Music . Classic Cinema .
...an update is desperately needed...
An update to what?
Howard Hunt was in Dealey Plaza one certain November....
Back when the WaPo was a real paper!
Have not seen this movie in a long time. Sure wish somebody would run this classic!
"get some harder information next time"...that quote sure didn't age well.
When the Washington Post was a great newspaper
Interesting to watch it's namesake predecessor, "All the King's Men."
In Britain no-one would give information like that to anybody; it just isn't public.
"You might think that; I couldn't possibly say."
In the 70s?
Love this film.
back when the press cared about the American people and some truth
Yeah, then Fox News showed up and down the gurgler it went.
@@ptgigg They all went willingly - where the money is.
@@ptgigg Reagan had a lot do with that. He had the "fair and balanced" law repealed.
and when Americans were reasonably intelligent and educated and when they read the newspapers.
@@Conn30MtenorWe’ve become a rather dull group of people, haven’t we? We’re more concerned about a celebrity stubbing their toe instead of real issues. No truth out there anymore…just keep the public happy with “feel good” stories…
Produced by Robert Redford. directed by the genius Alan J. Pakula. The seventies has to be the golden age of American cinema.
Librarians don’t give out info about patrons checkouts. They respect privacy. Even in 1973.
We need to make this story required reading in schools, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. The Truth is someone was bound to try this again sooner or later. The Power Brokers think they run the world
In 15 years we can watch a similar movie about Project 2025.
Omg😢 I pray we never have to live through that so called "Project" esp re him wanting the military all over!!! Straight up Fascism!
HELL NO!!
For God's sake, let's hope so.
0:01 I think they’re at the Rooftop Terrace at the Kennedy Center. Planes to/from National Airport go right by there, following the Potomac River. Surprised they left in the scene where the plane drowns her out. It looks like it flustered them and threw off their timing; maybe they thought the scene would be reshot.
Whew she was beautiful
Who is the girl Bernstein is talking to?
That's a young Duvall as the clerk who reminds the reporters that Presidential request are confidential.
"All the President's Men" was a big deal back when truth mattered in American politics and culture. Nowadays, there's no chance the White House Press Secretary apologizes to a newspaper ("mistakes were made"). Hugh Sloan wouldn't have been compelled to tell the truth because faith has become so corrupted by politics. It would just be 24/7/365 war, because the noise is more useful and profitable than the truth.
Who is Howard Hunt ...?
He is Mike and York's Brother
The Library of Congress is top 3 most beautiful interiors in DC (including swanky hotels). The Main reading room (the Jefferson reading room?) was open to the public - but not afte 9-11. Now you need apply. As a high school kid mid-70s, I would use it for special homework. But it was not efficient - no open shelves. you looked up books in card catalogs, wrote out a request slip with your seat number, and then waited 8-20 minutes for requested book(s) to be delivered.
Great drone shot from 6:16 to 6:52!
Just watched the film here in London on the cinema It was a full house it's a very cinematic movie The office scenes were as real as it gets and injects you into the Washington's posts journalistic working atmosphere of the 1970s, When Roberts their boss calls them out ! You can feel, taste & FEAR The embarrassment of the other office staff.
The way a newsroom should be run.
The days of honest Journalism
I would have thought that a librarian has a duty of confidentiality regarding members of the library and the books they choose to take out. That was the attitude taken by many librarians after 9/11 when Bush/Cheney and The Patriot Act were demanding that these records were handed over to the American government.
It was the 70s.
@@vanessac1721 So???????? I would have thought that the librarian's duty of confidentiality was the same in all eras: unchanging like The American Constitution.
This is a favorite scene in the LOC
...Great film!!!
my how elite journalism has morphed into something worse than the National Enquirer.
Back in the day when a plane would come screaming into national airport every 30 seconds
Dustin is probably 1 of best actors ever ...watch his films 🎥 side, by side ...freaky talent 🎈 🎰
Wow, it's all so naive.
A coup without the assignation.
That was when journalists had to given proof and validation for what they said and wrote. Long time ago.
These guys would have been obstructed by the entire Republican Party and republican Supreme Court if this happened in today’s America
You mean the democratic party.
In those days, each paragraph of a draft story had its own half page so paras could be shuffled at will by the subeditors
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward have been LIVING on this for 50 years
Bob Woodward recently wrote other books but I guess in your mind he is not a good journalist anymore because he dared to criticize your orange overlord

This is a terrific movie, but it is hard seeing Robert Redford as Bob Woodward lol. I’d have to think they still could have had a dynamite movie without going so A list Hollywood commercial box office with his casting.
The Ed. was right..........sending out a leaking boat is a no-no.....patch it up first.
@8:40 the difference between a gossip rag and reputable news publication. Validity and credibility of the source the intel is coming from is EVERYTHING in serious journalism; who, where, when, how reliable, can the intel cross confirmed with other sources?
Now all you need is a rumour on the streets and bang 💥 it’s a story!
Robards just looks like he runs a newspaper
4:23 Doesn't Charles Colson sound like the real Bob Woodward? A cameo of him in this movie or just a coincidence?
Find the episode (on CZcams) of "Firing Line" with William F Buckley, where Buckley offers "a caveat" before his interviewee appears (if memory serves); that information was:
"I'm godfather of two of E Howard Hunt's sons..."
When men think they’re above the law
Really quite poignant to remember this movie in the current climate. I recall being shocked when I saw it then.

The only trouble is the whole Watergate story as depicted in this film is inaccurate. If you check into who Woodward is and who set up Nixon you'll be surprised. Also check Maureen Dean's roomate.
I no longer trust Bob Woodward after his bias action on tv. It causes me to doubt his other works.
