EVENTS: Advanced Screening of "Frost/Nixon"

Thursday, December 4, 2008
7:30 p.m.
Gifford Auditorium, HBC

Directed by Ron Howard, “Frost/Nixon” explores the story behind journalist David Frost’s 1977 interview of former president Richard Nixon—the first interview Nixon had granted since resigning from the presidency three years earlier. The film is billed as “the untold story of the historic encounter that changed the relationship between journalism and politics forever.”

Tony Award winner Frank Langella ’59 plays Nixon, and Michael Sheen plays Frost. The screenplay was written by Peter Morgan. Associate producer William M. Connor ’89 will introduce the film and take part in a question-and-answer session following the screening.
