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).

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!"

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.

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.

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.

"I DON'T MIND WHAT YOU DID. I MIND THE WAY YOU DID IT." That sums the whole thing up in two sentences.

Jason Robards is such a great actor. He pulls this off as if he is the real Ben Bradley

It's been more than 40 years that newsrooms were filled with the sound of typewriters

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.

Amazing film. It also reveals how far we have fallen in 50 yrs.

The Library of Congress Shot & Music . Classic Cinema .

Interesting to watch it's namesake predecessor, "All the King's Men."

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. 😢

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

That was when journalists had to given proof and validation for what they said and wrote. Long time ago.

Shouldn't the librarian have said "sorry sir but I cannot disclose that information?" I'm sure that's what would happen today.

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.

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.

"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.
