 Frost Nixon Original January 6, 2009
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are interested in the facts from the horse's mouth, this is for you.
The original interviews went for over 28 hours, this DVD lasts only 2, but it does cover the most interesting aspects of Watergate and how Nixon was able to justify everything in his own mind.
I was not disappointed, but would have liked a longer cut of the original 28 hours.
 Gripping and Fascinating January 5, 2009
Some will be disappointed at the running time of 88 minutes of this version of the Frost/Nixon interviews but that is because it touches
on Watergate only (hence the title 'The Original WATERGATE Interviews)and not the other issues on such subject matters as Vietnam,China,abuse of powers and his final days as stated on the back cover of the DVD.However,the 88 minutes that we do get is simply gripping and fascinating.Frost is thorough and fierce in his conduction of the interview,so much so he tosses his clip board aside at one point as Nixons eyes follow the toss and then smirks.Another amazing moment is when Nixon becomes emotional at one point and is clearly teary eyed.
The 38 yr. old Frost appears to be absolutely sleep deprived judging by the bags under his eyes as big as tea bags is seen as very eager to hear Nixons answers to his questions that at another point he grabs a glass of water and raises it to his lips as fast as I've ever seen one approach a glass of water and then proceeds to put it down even faster as if he doesn't want to miss one second or waste one second of his prize catch of his career in Richard Milhous Nixon. Mr.Nixon,a man who professes and claims in his view to Frost that he believes he did not commit an impeachable offense. I highly recommend this segment of the interview of the most famous presidential scandal in American History.
 88 minutes from a 5 volume series? December 28, 2008

I don't understand how this release is only 88 minutes long, when EACH volume of the original 5-tape set on VHS was over an hour long. Is this a distilled version?
Makes me wish I never would have gotten rid of my VHS set!
What about the other 27 hours? December 23, 2008

OK...it's my own fault for not reading the description but I really thought I would have the chance to see considerably more footage of the interview. don't get me wrong, this is exceptional work. As someone not old enough to view the PBS special in it's original form, I really wanted to see more than 88 minutes.
 Wow!! December 12, 2008

A must have for any DVD library! A piece of American history not soon to be repeated! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen!
