I'm Watching "All of the President's Men" -- Fantastic Movie
It's a great film. Makes me yearn for the days when we actually had a media that took on the powerful. Sigh.

Another feature of the movie is how low tech everything is, typewriters, rotary phones, no cell phones, no internet, amazing.

1. One of my faves.
I love the editorial meetings with Jason Robards.

2. Of the same genre, I'd add to other great films: The Candidate and Primary Colors
those were really good.

3. Great movie. Did you know that it was Robert Redford's suggestion that made Woodward and
Bernstein write the book? And then Redford bought the movie rights!

4. A terrific cast
In addition to Hoffman and Redford, Hal Holbrook, Jack Warden, Jason Robards, Ned Beatty, Marin Balsam, even a young Meridith Baxter.
