Let us return momentarily to the heyday of `70s film, a hothouse of conspiracy and nefarious plots. The nasty shadow of Vietnam and Watergate flickered on the screen, where someone was always listening in ("The Conversation") or killing off ("The Parallax View") or covering up ("All the President's Men"). |
