Released on April 5, 1976, All the President's Men—Alan Pakula's riveting cinematic account of two Washington Post reporters investigating the Watergate break-in, whose relentless and meticulous pursuit of truth lead to the toppling of a U.S. President—is landmark work considered not only a quintessential political thriller, but by any to be the greatest film on journalism of all time. On this afternoon's Classical Music with Foley Schuler, we'll mark the 50th anniversary of the film's release with music from David Shire's spare and moody score to the film, as well as music from John Adam's groundbreaking opera, Nixon in China—and much more.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
