  • I have seen SEVERAL great actors try to and ultimate fail at portraying Nixon. Hopkins couldn't do it, Langella over-cartooned it.

    Lane Smith NAILED it.

  • I watched this movie in early 2002 it is rarely aired and Lane Smith BECAME Richard Nixon especially his mannerisms and vocal inflect. I especially loved Smith's "Uh...Okay"s.

  • @alady4justice71 This made-for-TV movie aired in 1989, and I believe a DVD exists.

  • Lane Smith looks exactly like and sounds like Nixion, WOW. When did this movie come out; and is it on DVD. I have got to see this one, I knew there was a reason why I like Lane Smith, he was a great actor; he will be missed but never forgotten.

  • Nixon talked to President Kennedy's picture and said "Someday everyone's gonna know all that sex you had with women in the white house!"

  • A Nixon actor who actually looks and sounds like Nixon? Amazing.

  • Personally i think lane smith has the voice for Nixon :)

  • Where can you download this film.

  • The book is a must read companion to All The President's Men by the same Washington Post reports Woodward and Bernstein.

  • The original choice to play Nixon in Oliver Stone's movie was Tom Hanks followed by Jack Nicholson. Jack would have been the better choice of the two, and I think he could have pulled it off!

  • @asianhombre i most definitely concur. the movie is quite epic, but i wish oliver stone used Lane Smith. Hopkins is great, but not as Hitler or Nixon

  • isn't kissinger a jew
