ROBERT REDFORD DOUBLE FEATURE
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Two of my favorite movies are shown as a TCM prime-time double feature tonight: 1976’s All the President’s Men, which persuaded me to commit to journalism as a career, followed at 10:30 p.m. ET by 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which convinced me not to rob banks. Both films starred Robert Redford, opposite Dustin Hoffman in the former and Paul Newman in the latter. And both, significantly, had screenplays written by William Goldman. Two great scripts. Two great movies. Four great performances. And no matter how many times I’ve seen these films, which by now is in the dozens, I know I’ll be sucked into watching them again tonight.
