The 1989 made-for-TV movie THE FINAL DAYS goes inside this uniquely American tragedy as it happened, from the June 17, 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committe in the Watergate building to the moment on August 9, 1974 when Nixon called it quits. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, ...The Final Days - 2-DVD Set

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthy but very wooden 13 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Very turgid re-telling of the final period of Nixon's corrupt administration. No sense of drama or importance, but more a chance for actors to play dressing up. A sad reflection on a highly intelligent book by Woodward and Bernstein.

Stick to Oliver Stone's "Nixon" for an insightful and , contrary to some impressions, a sympathetic look at this deeply flawed man and President.

This movie, based on the book by Woodward & Bernstein, is an excellent overview of the last months of the Nixon presidency. Nathan Lane is a great look alike of Nixon. The conversations are good and well chosen.
David Ogden Stiers is (however a little bulky) a good General Haig. In all a very good movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Laughter and adventure with Tricky Dicky 13 July 2004
Format:DVD
Not a great movie by any means - barely a good one - but really the only movie truly about Watergate. It's fairly undramatic and it's shot like a TV movie but much of the cover-up is documented. ( And not overdramatised like that compulsive liar Oliver Stone did his Nixon film.)

I recommend this to Watergate buffs. However, if you are new to this political scandal, I recommend the Watergate VHS box set. It's a co-production of BBC and America's discovery channel.
