3-Hour Cut of '70s Historical Epic Released

'All the President's Men' Extended Edition Now Available

A previously unavailable 3-hour cut of the 1976 historical epic “All the President's Men” has finally been released, making amends for a decades-old controversy surrounding its star.

Scandal and Controversy

The film, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, tells the story of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. However, the original release of the film was met with controversy due to its omission of key scenes involving actor Jason Robards.

Robards, who played Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, was reportedly unhappy with the way his character was portrayed in the film and demanded that certain scenes be cut. As a result, the released version of “All the President's Men” was truncated, leaving many viewers with an incomplete understanding of Bradlee's role in the story.

Restored Vision

The newly released 3-hour cut of the film includes these missing scenes, restoring Robards' performance and giving a more comprehensive account of the events depicted in the film. It is being hailed as a victory for both the film's star and fans who have long clamored for a more complete version.

The extended edition of “All the President's Men” is now available on Blu-ray and streaming platforms. It is a must-see for fans of the film, history buffs, and anyone interested in the stories that shaped American politics.
