DVD: Frost/Nixon: The Original Watergate Interviews By Shawn Shapiro In May of 1977 over 45 million Americans tuned in to watch a television event that today, over 30 years later is still a solid mark in the record books. This event was the very blunt and elaborate interview of disgraced U.S President Richard Nixon by the talented British interviewer Sir David Frost. On this newly released DVD put out by Vivendi Entertainment Canada one can watch not only the interview in all its glory, but Sir David Frost these many years later divulging behind the scenes information. The interview is like nothing you have ever seen before, and like nothing you will ever see again. Frost is one of the strongest interviewers you will ever witness and is so tough on Nixon who spills his guts metaphorically to the camera and all of America. Frost is eloquent and commands respect and hold the viewers attention and hooks Nixon in. With the release this month of the new Universal film "Frost/Nixon" starring British actor Michael Sheen ("The Queen") as Frost and Frank Langella("Good Night and Good Luck") as Richard Nixon, this poignant DVD is all the more relevant. Before viewing the film, viewers NEED to watch this disc to really get a sense of the real people attached to the tale. Vivendi Entertainment Canada has produced a DVD that is so very important in understanding Watergate and Nixon as a whole. |
