Не думала, что фильм о политике, тем более про Ричарда Никсона, в конце концов вызовет у меня такие сильные эмоции.
Bravo to the actors and especially to Frank & Martin!

I let them down. I let down my friends, I let down my country, and worst of all I let down our system of government,
and the dreams of all those young people that ought to get into government but now they think;
'Oh it's all too corrupt and the rest'. Yeah ... I let the American people down.
And I'm gonna have to carry that burden with me for the rest of my life. My political life is over.

including Martin Scorsese, Mike Nichols, George Clooney, Sam Mendes, and Bennett Miller.

Frank Langella won a Tony Award in 2007 for playing Richard Nixon in the original stage production.

Even while off-camera, all of the actors would remain in character and continue the Frost/Nixon rivalry
by bickering and making fun of each other.

Both Frank Langella and Michael Sheen repeat the roles they created on stage.
Ron Howard would only agree to direct if the studio would allow both actors to appear in the film version.

Director Ron Howard admitted voting for Richard Nixon in the 1972-election.

Frank Langella admits that he usually enjoys playing cards and joking around on movie sets,
but felt it would compromise his character if he didn't remain presidential on this set.
While working on this movie other cast and crew referred to him as "Mr. President."
Langella suggests almost none of the crew ever met Frank Langella.

Frank Langella is four inches taller than the man he portrays, Richard Nixon.

The phone conversation at midnight between Frost and Nixon never actually happened.
Screenwriter Peter Morgan got the inspiration from well-known phone calls at midnight that Nixon did to some government members during Watergate.

Shot in 38 days.
