Unfortunately, I missed the original Nixon interviews in 1977. However, these interviews were stunning brought to life by Michael Sheen as Frost and Frank Legella as Nixon.

The development of the plot puts David Frost as the real underdog in this story. His producer thinks it will be hard to interview Nixon. Later on, Frost has difficulty finding advertisers for the program. He faces bankrupcty if the interviews don't air. The U.S. networks also pass on the subject matter.

When the interviews do start, Nixon controls most of the agenda and makes himself look good through his rambling "good old boy" responses.

However, in the last interview, Frost pulls out surprise questions from "The Watergate Tapes" and gets Nixon to demonstrate presidential arrogance by saying "When a president does anything it isn't illegal."

Frank Langella is magnificent as the complex, pitiful Nixon. Time and time again, Frost confronts him with his mistakes, but Nixon has difficulty remembering details. In the end, justice is served and "The Nixon Interviews" gain a TV viewership of 400 million.

This is a great drama with terrific acting. I'd give Frank Langella the Best Actor Oscar for 2008. Four stars!!!
