All the President's Men (6/9) Movie CLIP - I Hate Trusting Anybody (1976) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards) tells Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) and Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) to run the story about Mitchell.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Conspiracy film specialist Alan J. Pakula turned journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's best-selling account of their Watergate investigation into one of the hit films of Bicentennial year 1976. While researching a story about a botched 1972 burglary of Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate apartment complex, green Washington Post reporters/rivals Woodward (Robert Redford, who also exec produced) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) stumble on a possible connection between the burglars and a White House staffer. With the circumspect approval of executive editor Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards), the pair digs deeper. Aided by a guilt-ridden turncoat bookkeeper (Jane Alexander) and the vital if cryptic guidance of Woodward's mystery source, Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), Woodward and Bernstein "follow the money" all the way to the top of the Nixon administration. Despite Deep Throat's warnings that their lives are in danger, and the reluctance of older Post editors, Woodward and Bernstein are determined to get out the story of the crime and its presidential cover-up. Once Bradlee is convinced, the final teletype impassively taps out the historically explosive results.

HIT US UP:

[robertswartz]

"I can't do the reporting for my reporters, which means I have to trust them. And I hate trusting anybody." Best description of management ever put on film.

[christianschneider]

That little desk tap and palm punch are amazing. The guy was a grizzled vet but still felt the rush of breaking the big story, especially one that'd zing that bastard Nixon.

[LPJack]

RIP Jason Robards (July 26, 1922 – December 26, 2000), aged 78
You will always be remembered as a legend.

[KMC]

I love Tom Hanks but Robards is, was, and always will be the best on screen Ben Bradlee.

[uncledoey]

wanted to rewatch this particular scene after seeing The Post. Sorry Tom but Jason Robards' Ben Bradlee is soooo much better. "Run That Baby" and that tap on the desk on his way out. Perfection.

[jamesdrynan]

Apparently, Robards drinking problem had been detrimental to his career by 1975. He was always Redford's choice but many other actors were considered for the role. He was offered $50, 000 and won the Oscar for his portrayal. A recovering alcoholic, Robards campaigned for alcohol awareness. A great actor.

[Dave-bory]

"Well, cut the words 'her tit' and print it."
"Why?"
"This is a family newspaper."

[wabbles]

That story and that movie got me into the newspaper business, along with just about everybody else in my generation.

[andreax]

One of the best scene of all time, the great Jason Robards

[moh]

This is the same tux he wore at the Oscars when he won for Best Supporting 🔥🔥🔥

[aliali-ceyf]

i hate trusting anybody" - love that line

[Setebos]

If I was ever a newspaper executive I wouldn't necessarily want to be Ben Bradlee, but I'd definitely want to be Ben Bradlee as played by Jason Robards.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I love the lack of music in this movie.

I feel like The Post overdid it with score telling you how to feel.

[Nicksonian]

Walking through the near-empty newsroom late in the evening. I did it hundreds of times. I didn’t work for The Post, but my paper was big enough to be important. There was a feeling, a life, a karma in most newsrooms like none other, and this film captures it perfectly. I miss it so much.

[jamescpotter]

Jason Robards as ben Bradley. It doesn't get any better than this on film. Though I have never met Mr. Bradley nor read much about him, I sense Robards nailed his character. To me he was the highlight of this film.

[MapleSyrupPoet]

"I hate trusting anybody" ...Jason had some great lines ...must have been giddy, getting cast in role

[GirlFriday]

“Run that baby”, , , such a great scene,

[matthewgabbard]

What’s ironic is that his story about Hoover’s successor was the key to who Deepthroat was the entire time.

[Legba]

This makes Ben remember the chaos and the purpose of journalism when he & Katie Graham took on the White House over the Pentagon Papers. Ironically, that happened right before this and he was bound to make sure the truth was heard. He took a hell of a risk then like he did with Woodward & Bernstein. They both paid off.

[rz]

Bradlee telling W & B the LBJ story comes much later in the book, in the second half of the book which the movie doesn't cover. Apparently someone thought it was a good enough story that they wanted it in the movie, so they moved it up a year prior to when he actually told them about it. In real life and in the book the reason he told them the LBJ story was is a bit better context of events at that time than it was in the movie, but it's still a good scene.
