The Most Compelling Political Interview Ever
A historic meeting so gripping and poignant it has been adapted into an award-winning stage play and a major motion picture.
The Frost Nixon Interviews are recognized as one of the great media events of the twentieth century. First broadcast in May 1977, they drew the biggest ever worldwide audience for a news interview. Forty-five million people watched in America alone. During the over twenty-eight grueling hours, Frost questioned Nixon on everything from Vietnam to China, from abuse of power to the final days. But the most tense and gripping sessions were on Watergate. Two entire days were devoted to the subject.
Never before - and never afterward - would Nixon confront the issue of Watergate, particularly in a forum where he had no advanced knowledge of the questions and no right even to see the edited program before it was broadcast. A picture emerges of a White House under siege, of burglars and hush money, of a Nixon close to tears, having to sacrifice his closest aides - culminating in the unprecedented sight of a President apologizing to his people.

Nice Companion Piece To The Howard Film - 2.25 out of 5 (12/15/2008)
With Ron Howard's acclaimed new movie in theaters (based on the Peter Morgan play), it's a good time to go back and look at the original interviews between David Frost and Richard Nixon, which took place back in 1977. This Liberation Entertainment DVD doesn't contain the complete set of interviews that Frost did with the former president, but it does contain the interview show where Watergate was the topic, and where Nixon broke down and seemingly apologized for his actions to the American peop
