Dick (film) Actor Llista (Cast)

Dick is a 1999 alternate history comedy film directed by Andrew Fleming, co-written by Fleming and Sheryl Longin, and starring Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, and Dan Hedaya. It portrays a comic reimagining of the Watergate scandal which ended the presidency of Richard Nixon, in which two warm-hearted but unworldly 15-year-old friends, who—through various arbitrary circumstances—become the legendary "Deep Throat" figure who played a key role in bringing down the presidency of Nixon. At the time of the film's release, the real identity of Deep Throat was not yet known to the public.

The film features several cast members from Saturday Night Live and The Kids in the Hall, and includes fictionalized portrayals of U.S. historical and political figures involved in the Watergate scandal, including Henry Kissinger, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, H. R. Haldeman, John Dean, G. Gordon Liddy, and Rose Mary Woods.

Released in the summer of 1999 by Sony Pictures Releasing under the Columbia Pictures label, Dick was a box-office bomb, grossing $6.3 million against a $13 million budget, though it received largely favorable reviews from film critics. In the years following its release, the film went on to develop a cult following.
