All the President's Men***       

(US 1976)              

Two Washington journalists investigate and gradually uncover the truth behind the Watergate Hotel break-in.
Quietly riveting political expose, leaping straight off the headlines and happily into Hollywood's lap. Happily also, it is largely devoid of movie glamour and allows the real-life drama to speak for itself. A sinister paranoia journalistic thriller which suited the mood of the 70s to a tee, and a gift for this kind of talent to put together.
