'Frost/Nixon' Spectacular For Foreign Press

“Frost/Nixon,” Ron Howard’s paean to politics, was screened for international journalists last night in L.A. and all those foreign journos were bowled over by Frank Langella’s unexpected spectacular turn as Tricky Dick.

Based on a play about the Frost/Nixon interviews in the late ’70s, the film actually finds a dramatic theme to a series of four one-on-one interviews for a playboy British talk show host and the disgraced former President.

The play was written by Peter Morgan, but director Howard is the one who should be lauded.
