    • Quotes

      President Richard M. Nixon: Bob, I don't know anything about that.

      H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: No. Of course not. Sir. Uh, my mistake.

      President Richard M. Nixon: I won't stand for anyone looking into Colson.

      H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Right now it's just some flat-foots at DC Metro.

      President Richard M. Nixon: Yeah, by tomorrow it'll be the FBI. Colson will fold like testicles in a nutcracker. I don't trust the Bureau.

      H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Uh, I assure you with Pat Gray acting as... .

      President Richard M. Nixon: Acting like a balloon maybe. Ever since Hoover died they're pissed off that we didn't promote from the ranks. Who's that one, uh... Mark something... satin, uh... velvet, uh... .

      H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Felt.

      President Richard M. Nixon: Felt like a weasel when I shook his hand.

    You haven't seen Watergate like this before!
    I haven't enjoyed a Watergate film this much since "Dick!" Understand, 18 1/2 (A clever play on Fellini's 8 1/2 and the infamous 18 1/2 minute gap in the Nixon Watergate tapes) is not in out and out comedy. There's funny parts, but also suspenseful, thrilling aspects, as well as romance. But it is a fun ride, from beginning to end. Well written and directed, with a wonderful Robert Altman influence. And some great twists along the way. A terrific cast, with stellar young actors and a wonderful supporting turn by the always great Richard Kind. I'm ready to watch it again right now!
