Editorial Review: Product Description: A historic meeting so gripping and poignant it has been adapted into an award-winning stage play and major motion picture. This program, culled from the over 28 hours of interview footage between Sir David Frost and U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, was originally broadcast in May of 1977. Never before, nor since, has a U.S. President been so candid on camera. Even more intriguing is the fact that Nixon agreed to appear on camera with no pre-interview preparation or screening of questions. The most famous of this series of interviews is in the final segment that focused solely on Watergate. This program also contains new footage with Sir David Frost shot in 2007 discussing the historical impact of the interview along with his reactions of their famous encounter. Frost also discusses his views on Peter Morgan's interpretation and screenplay adaptation of this historical event. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Frost Nixon Original If you are interested in the facts from the horse's mouth, this is for you. The original interviews went for over 28 hours, this DVD lasts only 2, but it does cover the most interesting aspects of Watergate and how Nixon was able to justify everything in his own mind. I was not disappointed, but would have liked a longer cut of the original 28 hours. Rating: - Gripping and Fascinating Some will be disappointed at the running time of 88 minutes of this version of the Frost/Nixon interviews but that is because it touches on Watergate only (hence the title 'The Original WATERGATE Interviews)and not the other issues on such subject matters as Vietnam,China,abuse of powers and his final days as stated on the back cover of the DVD.However,the 88 minutes that we do get is simply gripping and fascinating.Frost is thorough and fierce in his conduction of the interview,so much so ...

Is this a distilled version? Makes me wish I never would have gotten rid of my VHS set! Rating: - What about the other 27 hours?OK...it's my own fault for not reading the description but I really thought I would have the chance to see considerably more footage of the interview. don't get me wrong, this is exceptional work. As someone not old enough to view the PBS special in it's original form, I really wanted to see more than 88 minutes. Rating: - Wow!!A must have for any DVD library! A piece of American history not soon to be repeated! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen! Browse for similar items by category:
