This is one of my all-time favorite films. In this scene, Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) presses Deep Throat for answers to the June 17, 1972 Watergate break-in. Deep Throat then goes on to expose a vast conspiracy ranging from CIA to FBI to the Justice Department all the way up to the highest levels of the White House including President Richard Nixon. Bob then goes to Carl Bernstein’s (Dustin Hoffman) apartment to explain that his place is bugged and their lives are in danger for knowing too much and getting too close to publicly exposing the conspiracy.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
@oneputtsteven your sentiments seem spot-on, but woodward did extensive bush/cheney coverage, most of it was supportive, until the end. e.g. when he released state of denial-his ultimate condemnation of the administration, in 2007 maybe? interesting book. but i don’t think it excused woodward’s general sign-off on bush, which he gave to the admin after 9/11. seemed like everybody but hs thompson, zinn, chomsky, vidal and kucinich were happy to participate in post 9-/1 revisionist state religion.
This movie was horrible. Good idea, good cast, great performances… but the absolutel worst, confusing script, cinematography and a very weak take on the subject matter.
Great movie with an all star cast. Glad Jason Robards won best suporting;should have won picture,too,instead of Rocky. Love this part where they’er typing to each other.
Best scene. I’ve watched this film about thirty or forty times in the past few years and I never seem to tire of it. Alan J. Pakula was legend.
Brilliant film about Watergate.
This of course is the deputy director of the FBI talking to a reporter in a parking garage.
OMG BIG-brother is WATCHING US, THE GOVERMENT/iT’s All a Conspiracy, MAN !
a TRICKY-nest !
Thank GOD for DEEP Throat…. nosy REPORTER Redford Knows BETTER Now !!!
Dien een AANKLACHT in !, ROBERT R. against The STAAT/STATE/NATION….
I’m writing a ten page paper on this for journalism class! Fuck Machiavellianism!
Need more DEEP THROAT sluts than what is offered here? Take it on my youtube channel.
deep throat was sneaky, the nixon administration was criminal
Who is Climategate’s Deep Throat?
Hal Holbrook is sexy as Deep Throat!
“listen i’m tired of you chicken shit game!” i loved this movie
I do like this film, it gave a very accurate truthful insight into the whole event of “Watergate.” Not even so much a “entertaining thriller” or however we look at this film. But at that time this film was really actually telling American people exactly what was going on. A Totally different era, which is why we could never have anything like this happen today.
Even w/ the dark lighting it’s clear who Deep Throat was: Hal Holbrook
One of the all-time great scenes from one of the all-time great movies.
I would love to know what Woodward and Bernstein could dig up on Bush/Cheney except these days nobody gives a damn anymore because their told it’s to protect the country which translated means if you don’t allow us to do this illegal sh*t your gonna die. Too bad the American people fall for this crud.
Hal Holbrook delivered his lines perfectly
it sounds like deep throat was chewing something
oops. i got my typewriter scenes confused on that last comment.
this was a great scene though.
well, the teletype machine was how news was broken then. i think that was the reason.
hoffman can’t type like a pro journalist so they cut away to the typewriter… pretty classy
Excelent scene, one of my favorite movies as well as one of my favorite scenes from this movie. Great choice!! Woodstein lol
