Paluka "The Parallax by his use of lighting: the homes of paranoid Committee to Reelect the President staffers are dimly lit. Nighttime Washington streets are filled with ominous shadows. The city itself, in fact, becomes the vehicle for expressing threat rather than the Nixon men themselves, who enter the film only as disconnected voices on the telephone. The few shots of a smiling, apparently serene Nixon on the newsroom television juxtaposed against the furious activity of the two reporters are painfully ironic but not heavy-handed.

The building tension in the film is broken now and then by casual, off-hand comments delivered by the suave, debonair executive editor Ben Bradlee, played superbly by Jason Robards. Good performances are also turned in by Jack Warden as metropolitan editor Harry Rosenfeld, Martin Balsam as Howard Simons, the managing editor, and Jane Alexander, the fearful reelection committee bookkeeper. ninincfinnnicD iiskxw liinilUUb UUII I I1LII 'j Ct I ff Staningln mm Also Starring LYnDA CARTER The Stirrup Cup disco at the Marriott is no so-so disco. Sure we have crowd-pleasing music on a super sound system. Sure we have a warm, congenial atmosphere where you can dance or just watch.

But what other disco has a Raw Bar with oysters, and shrimp for just 150 each from 4-7 p.m.? Where else can you sip a "Jar of Peaches" between hustles-a peach colada in a mason jar? The Stirrup Cup disco stays lively until 2 a.m. during the week and until 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. See for yourself tonight.

394-6500 m-i i a By SALLY SMITH At 2:30 a.m. Saturday, June 17, 1972, five men broke into headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington's Watergate apartment and hotel complex. They were arrested in the act. Routinely assigned to the minor crime story, Washington. Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein soon discovered that they had landed the assignment of the century.

'The rest is now recent history, and the history has been turned into a film, "All the President's Men," based on the reporters' best-selling book about breaking the Watergate scandal and the subsequent fall of the Nixon administration. A "reporter" movie in the tradition of the '30s and '40s it is not There are no fast-talking, cigar-chewing editors, no screaming telephones and no thundering presses. "Scoop" is never mentioned. Instead, the film is close to a dramatized documentary. For those in the audience expecting an emotional catharsis it may be slightly disappointing, but this low-key realism as opposed to being a shrill polemic against Nixon is why the movie works.

Of course, it is nearly Impossible to have two superstars like Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman playing Woodward and Bernstein, respectively, without some idealization of the characters. Nonetheless, the restraint is admirable. The two actors portray the "Woodstein" team as they were two young reporters hungry for a break. Investigative reporting is also shown to be the tedious job that it is. The viewer feels the physical, mental and sometimes spiritual exhaustion of the reporters as they crosscheck lists of GOP contributors, election staffers, make interminable phone calls and after-hours visits to the homes of reluctant witnesses and live with the palpable fear of being discredited while tracing the chain of criminal responsi-blity for Watergate ever higher into the Nixon ranks.

The main set in the movie is the gleaming, ultra-modern Post newsroom or an exact replica of it, reproduced, down to the trash in the wastebaskets, by Warner Bros, at the Burbank, studios. Although we all know the ending, the movie is still a good suspense story.
