Description: Austin television personality Carolyn Jackson interviews Alan Pakula, director of All the President’s Men. The conversation centers around Pakula’s ability to achieve edge-of-your-seat suspense in the audience while telling a story with a well known ending. Pakula discusses the intense reality for which cast and crew alike strove, from Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman becoming fully immersed in their characters to the extreme realism of the sets, down to the trash.
