At the Movies: Frost/Nixon

Frost/Nixon: 3

A movie based on a play based on the real life interviews of Richard Nixon by David Frost. This movie had some strong actors (Frank Langella, Oliver Platt, etc.) and was directed by Ron Howard.

This was an interesting insight into the tribulations that a talk show host can have when attempting to interview an experienced politician. We see David struggling to get funding for the interviews and then struggling to maintain control of the interview when face-to-face with Nixon.

In the end we get a confession, and the highlight of Frost's career.
