On top of this, Time magazine called Sussman one of the “big three” people involved in bringing the Watergate scandal to light alongside Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. According to the book All the President’s Men, Sussman was the first person to take interest in Woodward’s story on the Watergate bugging attempt. Upon first viewing the film we were left confused why such an influential character in the Watergate story was left out of the film. He was the first person at the Post to pick up the story of the Watergate break in, and continued to be an active participant in helping write stories as well as editing for Woodward and Bernstein all the way through the ordeal. As the editor of the Post, Sussman played a major role in the events that transpired during the Watergate investigation. Important people were either left out of the story or reduced to a minimal role.īarry Sussman was the District of Colombia editor of the Washington Post in 1972.
However there are several historical errors in the film especially when dealing with characters. In the film, All the President’s men, many things are portrayed well and effectively.
