A film vehicle for Michael Sheen to play David Frost, during the time of his interview with disgraced president Nixon.
It did not sound that enthralling but the film is pretty good - depicting how much money Frost had to raise and encourage backers to raise money to pay a president who was clearly looking for another pay day.
Frost is portrayed as a playboy and slightly out of his depth journalistically. The initial days of interviewing play into Nixon's hands and it is not until the last day does Frost get enough material to ask more pointed questions - which then cause Nixon's admissions.
Something of the original interviews:
