Sometimes Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2002)

The Watergate Scandal which was uncovered by Washington Post journalists Woodward and Bernstein (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman) is the topic of this outstanding picture from the very dominant cinematic year that was 1976. The two will stop at nothing to get to the truth and the strangest thing of all is that this is all based on a true story. An Oscar-winning performance by Jason Robards and top-notch jobs by Jane Alexander (in a strange Oscar-nominated role as she has only about 10 minutes of screen-time), Martin Balsam, Jack Warden, Ned Beatty and the mysterious Hal Holbrook just add to the film's brilliance. A strong film that, along with "Network", captured the most Academy Awards (4) in 1976. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
