The historically uninterested need not apply

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2006)

"All the President's Men" (1976): Focusing on the Watergate Scandal, and made soon after Nixon's resignation due to his & his staff's lying under oath, this film came out. It was an exciting, tense, boiled-down depiction of what had become a huge mass of confusing facts with which the public had wrestled. History aside, is this a good FILM? Yes. It's well acted and well made. It tells the story, and gives the broader meaning. Does is have enough intrinsic substance to interest someone who is uninterested in this episode of history? I doubt it, but then, I could care less about someone so ignorant and so lacking in curiosity. Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jack Warden, Hal Holbrook, Jason Robards star. See small, early roles by Meredith Baxter(-Birney), and many others.
