American Presidents: Richard Nixon on AllMovie

Richard Nixon was the second in command during the Eisenhower years, and while he lost to John F. Kennedy in 1960, he became president in 1968 and won re-election in 1972. American Presidents: Richard Nixon takes an unblinking look at the president who is remembered for the infamous line, "I am not a crook." The Watergate hearings brought national shame to the most exalted office in the country, and Nixon became a reviled figure; far from the cherished image of the "leader of the free world," he was known instead as "Tricky Dick."
