The Parallax View is a 1974 American neo-noir political thriller film starring Warren Beatty, Paula Prentiss, Hume Cronyn, William Daniels, Kenneth Mars, Walter McGinn, Kelly Thordsen and Jim Davis in support. Produced and directed by Alan J. Pakula, its screenplay is by David Giler and Lorenzo Semple Jr., based on the 1970 novel by Loren Singer. The story concerns reporter Joe Frady's investigation into a secretive organization, the Parallax Corporation, whose business is political assassination. The film over time has generated a more positive reaction from critics but on release the movie struggled to break even. The film is part of what critics have called "The Pakula Paranoia Trilogy", alongside the movies Klute and All the President's Men.
