This DVD had been sitting in my 'to watch' pile for a while and I finally got round to it yesterday evening. It stars character actor Martin Sheen as a playboy television host David Frost who decides to interview Richard Nixon after Nixons' fall from grace.
I mainly remember Frost as a heavyweight current affairs broadcaster and also as the presenter of the daytime TV show 'Through the keyhole'. The contrast between those two roles is somewhat sharp but I don't really remember the media darling playboy that we see in this film.
I've read a few books about Nixon. I know he was a bit of a bad guy. In this film he seems to be treated fairly sympathetically. I felt sorry for the isolated figure we see in this film.
A decent film.
