In an era of increasingly widespread, You-Tubed documentaries about nearly every subject and individual under the sun, it&#8217;s easy to take an hour-long film like this for granted &#8212; but one shouldn&#8217;t, as it remains invaluable documentation of an intriguing figure in the history of journalism. However, it&#8217;s not innovative enough as a film that I would recommend it as something <em>all<\/em> film fanatics need to seek out. With that said, it would make an interesting double-bill with <em>All the President&#8217;s Men<\/em> (1976), given the presence of a young Carl Bernstein as a talking head at one point. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An invaluable glimpse at the life and times of a little-known iconoclastic journalist crusader<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/I-F-Stone-Weekly-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/I-F-Stone-Weekly-Still.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/I-F-Stone-Weekly-Still.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/I-F-Stone-Weekly-Still-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/I-F-Stone-Weekly-Still-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo; this one is only must-see for those interested in the subject matter.
