HamptonsFilm and Guild Hall’s Winter Classic series returns on Saturday, March 1, at 7 p.m. with co-chair Alec Baldwin and artistic director David Nugent of HamptonsFilm in discussion at Guild Hall following a screening of Alan J. Pakula’s 1976 landmark political thriller “All the President’s Men.”
Released four years after the Watergate scandal that marked Richard Nixon’s downfall, the film won four Academy Awards and is widely considered one of the definitive political thrillers in movie history. Starring Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein, Pakula’s follow up to “Klute” and “Parallax View” cemented his place as one of the most important American filmmakers of his generation.
In their post-screening discussion, Baldwin and Nugent will take a look at the legacy and influence of the film nearly 50 years after its release.
Tickets are ($22.50 for members) at guildhall.org. Guild Hall is at 158 Main Street in East Hampton.
