A pretty good film, drawn from the stage play of the same name with the same leads. Ron Howard directs a great cast that centers around the David Frost/Richard Nixon interviews. Watching two people engage in a verbal jousting match turns out to be an interesting study - you actually feel some sympathy for Richard Nixon. Of course, that's all due to Langella's performance, which is easily one of the top performances of the year and deserves all the credit. Some liberties have been taken for dramatic effect, but that has been acknowledged and doesn't get in the way of telling a great story. One of the year's best.
