Joseph McBride Wrote:I think Oliver Stone's NIXON is superb. It was amazing how most reviewers
and others missed that it's also about the JFK assassination. The director's
cut on DVD with the added scene of Nixon confronting Helms (Sam
Waterston) is critical to the film and that theme.
That scene is brilliant, and it's good to have it back on the DVD. It's a little odd, because elsewhere in the film is stock footage of the real Richard Helms on TV.
