In 1995, Oliver Stone made the movie “Nixon.” It bombed, bringing in under $14,000,000. In 2008, Ron Howard added another name, made a new movie called “Frost/Nixon.” It also bombed, bringing in just under $15,000,000.
Apparently, Hollywood has decided to bring America another Nixon movie every 13 years. Whether we want them or not.
Critics say “Frost/Nixon” is filled with lies, distortions, exaggerations and what are euphemistically called “dramatizations.” For more information read the excellent Lies, Damn Lies and Dramatizations: ‘Frost/Nixon’ at BigHollywood.com.
“But the film’s about Nixon,” say Hollywood insiders, “so it’s ok if we say the most vile things we can think of. And since this is Hollywood, that can be pretty darn vile.”
We say save your money for the anticipated 2021 release of the blockbuster “Frost/Nixon/Hitler,” which according to our calculations should bring in $16,000,000.

Nixon/Frost/Hitler. I laughed typing it.
“euphemistically called “dramatizations” – nicely put. Poor Richard he can’t even get a high school named after him. He desrves at least that. he helped bring down Hess. The press might have liked him a little, but he found that microfilm in the pumpkin patch.
