Paducah, KY – In the aftermath of Richard Nixon's 1974 resignation over Watergate, President Gerald Ford's pardon prevented the closure many wanted, either with Nixon's condemnation or his vindication. Director Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon" is the film version of the Tony Award-winning play starring Michael Sheen and Frank Langella. The two reprise their stage roles in this dramatization of the interviews that were the closest Americans ever got to a trial of Richard Milhous Nixon. Todd Hatton speaks with Maiden Alley Cinema's Larry Thomas.
