Event Details
A witness to a political assassination on Seattle’s Space Needle asks investigative journalist Joe Frady (Warren Beatty) to help protect her, but the reporter soon finds himself endangered by vast and terrifying conspiracy. The second film in director Alan J. Pakula’s unofficial paranoia trilogy (following Klute, 1971 and preceding All the President’s Men, 1976) is a classic of 1970s suspense cinema, aided greatly by Michael Small’s unsettling score and the meticulous widescreen cinematography of Gordon Willis (The Godfather, 1972).
