false 1906822 1 <p> Following the resounding success of the eponymous West End and Broadway hit play, <i>Frost/Nixon</i> tells the extraordinary story of how Sir David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his career&#8212;and how the series drew larger audiences than any news interview ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world. </p> <p> This is Frost's absorbing story of his pursuit of Richard Nixon, and is no less revealing of his own toughness and pertinacity than of the ex-President's elusiveness. Frost's encounters with such figures as Swifty Lazar, Ron Ziegler, potential sponsors, and Nixon as negotiator are nothing short of hilarious, and his insight into the taping of the programs themselves is fascinating. </p> <p> <i>Frost/Nixon</i> provides the authoritative account of the only public trial that Nixon would ever have, and a revelation of the man's character as it appeared in the stress of eleven grueling sessions before the cameras. Including historical perspective and transcripts of the edited interviews, this is the story of Sir David Frost's quest to produce one of the most dramatic pieces of television ever broadcast, described by commentators at the time as &#147;a catharsis&#148; for the American people. </p> 1908649 1 11 2007 Frost/Nixon: Behind the Scenes of the Nixon Interviews total:43|5:3|4:19|3:19|2:2| 43 152 71 13 3 1 false false Sat Feb 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 12:06:33 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 12:40:58 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 18 16:56:10 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 13:33:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 10:10:35 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 17:42:41 -0700 2009
