The Harry Ransom Center and the Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) Presidential Library present a screening of All the President’s Men (1976) on Saturday, April 16, at 2 p.m. in the LBJ Auditorium. The Woodward and Bernstein Watergate papers reside at the Ransom Center, and materials related to the film and Watergate scandal are currently on display as part of the Center's exhibition Culture Unbound: Collecting in the Twenty-First Century.



Starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, the film follows the story of Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon's resignation.



Please be aware that the LBJ Auditorium has limited seating. Line forms upon arrival of the first person, and doors open 30 minutes in advance. No ticket is required for this screening.



In celebration of the 35th anniversary of the release of the film All the President's Men, the Ransom Center is hosting a series of Watergate-related events. On Thursday, April 21, at 2 p.m., a panel of prominent journalists and commentators explore the question “Could the media break a story like Watergate today?” in the LBJ Library Auditorium. Later, at 6 p.m., Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein will discuss the film and its legacy in celebration of the 35th anniversary of its release. Each of the events on April 21 will require free tickets for entry, and more information may be found at www.lbjlibrary.org and www.hrc.utexas.edu/watergate.



A small group of materials from the Ransom Center's Woodward and Bernstein Watergate papers will also be on display at the LBJ Library from April 15 through April 29. Titled "All the President's Men: Newsroom to Big Screen," the display will include reporting notes, book drafts, film scripts, the contract signing over film rights to Robert Redford and other materials that trace the Watergate story from reporting to book to film.
