As somebody too young to remember the Watergate scandal, but educated enough to know such a thing existed, it was with curiosity that I enjoyed this excellent dramatisation of the battle of wits between ex president Richard Nixon and daytime TV presenter David Frost.
The story almost plays second fiddle to the incredible parts played by the respective ring masters as the dialogue kept me enthralled right until the dramatic climax that cemented the career of Frost until the end of his days.
A disturbing insight into the corrupt, inexcusably ambitious political nature of the white house during the 70’s, both Michael Sheen and Frank Langella woo audiences as they dance in front of the camera in this balletic show of acting prowess – a delight to witness.
