Directed by Ron Howard, 'Frost/Nixon' stars Frank Langella as Richard Nixon, a former US President in disgrace and who, up until this point in 1977, had remained silent about his part in the Watergate scandal. But, choosing his moment and his interviewer, Nixon agreed to talk to David Frost, played here by Michael Sheen. Back then Frost was just another smarmy host of lightweight television and was perceived as absolutely the wrong man for the job - and a very easy ride for the former president. 'Frost/Nixon' goes on general release on Friday.
