Jet Setter vs the Establishment

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2017)

President Richard Nixon (Frank Langlla) resigned the office of the President of the United States in 1974 following the Watergate investigation. After more that two years of self-imposed seclusion at his home, La Casa Pacifica in San Clemente, California, his literary agent Swifty Lazer (Toby Jones) suggests Nixon redeem his reputation by granting a television interview. They select David Frost (Michael Sheen), a jet- setter, playboy who has had television talk shows in Australian and New York, but his career is stalling.
Nixon needs the money and Frost needs the credibility, both men need these interviews to be "their" success. What follows is a dramatization of the Nixon/Frost interviews held at San Clemente and touted as one of the most watched television interviews of all time.
