August 9, 1974 a man sits down in front of a camera in the Oval Office. Countdown begins....calmly the now famous words are uttered "I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office". A wave of media surrounds the White House trying to get a close up of a disgraced 37th President.The only President to resign during this second term.
Frost/Nixon is a movie based on the four interviews of Richard M. Nixon given by David Frost. A show host tries to give a President who resigned because of the Watergate scandal,a trial he never had.
This movie is full of drama and well depicted and well acted by Frank Langella as President Nixon.Frost/Nixon is a great way to connect to history and behind the scenes happenings of the Nixon era.2reviewz gives this movie 4 and 1/2 stars.
