The word that comes to mind in describing this one is 'solid'. The opposition (albeit and unsurprisingly not, in the end, a true opposition) between Nixon, fallen from grace but not yet resigned to the fact nor necessarily beyond redemption in the public eye, and flamboyant British interviewer/talk show host David Frost is sturdily built up and eventually played out in the series of interviews between them, culminating in a (surely imaginary) late night telephone conversation between the pair and then the final interview segment. It's nothing spectacular, but enjoyable and well-made enough (and distinguished by quite a sympathetic portrayal of Nixon, too).
