Central topic of Assassination tango, the tango is a passion of more than fifteen years for Robert Duvall, who discovered the dance at the time of a spectacle and even treated to the luxury of a small solo circuit with his partner inside the White House, at the time of a reception given by President Bill Clinton in 1999.

Turned to Argentina, fatherland of the tango, Assassination tango allowed Robert Duvall to find itself in known ground. The actor had indeed already gone in the country to more than thirty recoveries, with discovered tango.
